BioNumerics is a suite of bioinformatics software applications developed by the company Applied Maths NV.
History[edit]
BioNumerics was released in 1996 and is still today a platform for the management, storage and (statistical) analysis of all types of biological data. BioNumerics is used by several networks around the globe to share and identify strain information. Pulsenet, a network run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), uses BioNumerics to distinguish pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns from different strains of organisms [1][2] Calicinet, an outbreak surveillance network for noroviruses, uses BioNumerics to submit norovirus sequences and basic epidemiologic information to a central database [3]
Features[edit]
BioNumerics consists of 10 software modules, used for the analysis of all major applications in bioinformatics: 1D electrophoresis gels, chromatographic and spectrometric profiles, phenotype characters, microarrays, sequences, etc..[4] BioNumerics is able to combine information from various genomic and phenotypic sources into one global database and conduct conclusive analyses[5][6].
