Abstract

Gene Logic began operations in 1996 as one of the first companies to envision high quality gene expression data as a commercial resource. To this end it began with a marriage of its patented READS (restriction endonucleolytic analysis of differentially expressed sequences) technology, a differential-display based approach to monitoring changes in gene expression, with unique expertise in bioinformatics and database construction. In January 1999, Gene Logic became one of the early adopters of the Affymetrix GeneChip® probe array, and began building its GeneExpress® gene expression database product using data from that system. In fact, Gene Logic worked closely with Affymetrix to refine procedures and analysis, as well as developing its own sample procurement and storage procedures, and the result was a premier, high quality, well annotated database of gene expression data from clinical samples. The resulting platform allowed, for example, both target discovery and the investigation of tumor differences at the molecular level.
