Applied Maths NV is a bioinformatics company, headquartered in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium, developing software for the biosciences. ==History== Applied Maths was founded in 1992 and gained worldwide recognition with the software GelCompar, used as a standard tool for the normalization and comparative analysis of electrophoresis patterns (PFGE, AFLP, RAPD, REP-PCR and variants, …) 〔Dijkshoorn L., Towner K. J., Struelens M., 2001. New approaches for the generation and analysis of microbial typing data. Elsevier, ISBN 0-444-50740-X, ISBN 978-0-444-50740-2.〕 .〔Vauterin L. and P. Vauterin. 1992. Computer-aided objective comparison of electrophoresis patterns for grouping and identification of microorganisms. Eur. Microbiol. 1:37-41.〕 GelCompar II was released in 1998 to deal with the ever growing amounts of information following the success and expansion of electrophoresis and other fingerprinting techniques in various application fields in microbiology, virology and mycology. Following the introduction of the concepts of polyphasic taxonomy 〔() Vandamme et al., Polyphasic taxonomy, a consensus approach to bacterial systematics. Microbiol. Mol. Biol. Rev. June 1996 vol. 60 no. 2 407-438.〕 and the growing need to combine genotypic, phenotypic, electrophoresis and sequence information, Applied Maths released in 1996 the software package BioNumerics which still today is a platform for the management, storage and (statistical) analysis of all types of biological data.〔Vauterin L, Vauterin P. Integrated databasing and analysis. In: Molecular Identification, Systematics, and Population Structure of Prokaryotes (ed. Erko Stackebrandt). Springer, 2006. ISBN 978-3-540-23155-4〕 BioNumerics and GelCompar II are used by several networks around the globe, such as Pulsenet and Calicinet, to share and identify strain information. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Applied Maths」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
