| GIS |
The Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) is utilizing discoveryHub as the core support infrastructure for its biological data integration needs.
GIS is the flagship program for Singapore's $3 billion USD Biomedical Sciences Initiative. This initiative, launched in May 2000, was the result of a ministerial decision to make the life sciences the fourth pillar of Singapore's economy after Chemicals, Engineering and Electronics. GIS is utilizing discoveryHub to integrate academic and industrial capabilities across a broad range of disciplines (including biomedical scientists, clinical investigators, and computer scientists) in order to automate and simplify complex queries to efficiently answer critical post-sequence, functional genomic questions with the ultimate goal of advancing individualized medicine.
"The Genome Institute of Singapore works at the intersection between cell and medical biology and genomics. At this interface, we need tools to integrate knowledge-databases in a facile manner. geneticXchange provides us with that enabling technology. We are working together to advance bioinformatics."

"The ability of discoveryHub, one of the most robust and efficient data integration systems we have worked with, to model complex relations of data objects has allowed us to develop PPiDB 1.0, a database for protein-protein interactions. discoveryHub facilitated efficient retrieval of information from heterogeneous biological databases and integration of different analysis tools such as Swissprot, Pfam, Pubmed, Blast, and graphvitz."

| GCI |
Genomics Collaborative Inc. (GCI) is using discoveryHub to discover novel therapeutic and diagnostic products for the prevention, prediction and treatment of diseases.
GCI is a functional genomics company with a clinical approach to discovery, focused on developing high value, proprietary intellectual property on its own account and in collaboration with bio-pharmaceutical companies and academic medical centers. GCI has leveraged discoveryHub to develop Tantalus, an application system designed to mine scientific literature from distributed public and private domain sources (such as HUGO - Human Genome Organization, Locuslink and MEDLINE) in order to provide information on 'disease state' versus 'gene symbols'. This innovative system allows GCI scientists to have a fully integrated view of the genes involved in complex diseases.
Through the integration of disparate sources, the Tantalus database now contains more than 20,000 distinct gene symbols, or around half the accepted total number of human genes. Using discoveryHub's simple SQL interface, researchers can use unique gene symbols and associated aliases to quickly search a local copy of the Medline (text literature) database for a given disease state.
"Using the [geneticXchange] discoveryHub significantly reduced the amount of resources required to build and maintain our Tantalus database, and it facilitates scientific productivity at GCI. discoveryHub enhanced our ability to develop the system, access information from their source websites and databases, and to create production software integrated with the rest of our informatics architecture in a very short time. This technology represents another step in continuing to advance GCI's lead in clinical functional genomics."

geneticXchange K1 Data Integration Middleware Platform provides solid foundation for Genomics Collaborative's new Tantalus database
| Signature Bioscience |
"Without a doubt, the K1 system is the best-designed architecture for this purpose. The engineering throughout K1 in terms of scripting is exceptional. The flexibility of K1 allows our in-house bioinformatics team to easily customize workflows to suit our own needs. K1's ability to scale and accommodate a constantly growing number of new public and private databases, as well as an ever-increasing volume of data is unmatched."
