We have received a number of inquiries lately about Refviz and how it relates to Omniviz. Refviz is a complementary visualization tool previously marketed by Thomson Reuters that represents a small subset of the capabilities within Omniviz.
For more information we have made available a document comparing Refviz and Omniviz.

BioWisdom is proud to announce the recent addition of support for chemistry searches and integration into the standard edition of our data search and retrieval platform, BioWisdom SRS.
This latest addition allows users unprecedented levels of integration of chemistry data with the wide range of public and proprietary datasets available within SRS. Starting from a structure of interest or a SMILES string, users can perform advanced searches into chemistry databases to identify related or structurally similar compounds.

We have just released a new patch update for SRS 8.3. This latest update adds a number of new features, as well as general improvements in the usability and stability of SRS. There are about 20 new types of exports (including some new XML formats) available for various databanks in SRS and improved handling of binary data such as images or chemical structure files. There are a number of improvements in the layout and functionality of the web interface using the latest browsers, as well as improved compatibility with the latest platforms.
You can read the full release notes as well as download the software itself in the SRS 8.3 Downloads area.
The latest additions to the databases supported by SRS also include ChEMBL (a database of bioactive small molecules and their activities in biological systems), the KEGG Disease database – (part of the of the KEGG databases suite, describes various diseases, usually with a genetic component), the MEROPS peptidase database, HMDB (a database of compounds in the human metabolism, and the enzymes involved in their metabolization) and DrugBank (a drugs and protein/gene targets database).
You can keep up to date with the latest additions and changes to SRS parsers using the SRS 8.3 parser updates news feed.

BioWisdom have released a Safety Intelligence Program update, with some new functionality and data. Since the September 2009 Version 3.0 release, there has been significant increase in the data sources accessed through SIP. Of particular interest are the following:
Email us at sip@biowisdom.com if you want to find out more about SIP.
Metawise is a unique and powerful ontology that can identify, translate and connect medically relevant relationships expressed in scientific content. Metawise uses intelligent metadata that is aligned to both reference (e.g. accession number, HGNC term, MedDRA term) or referent (e.g. Disease, Drug, Target, Pathway, Tissue) categories to harmonize differing terminology and semantics. It can also be used to translate terms used by different communities or software applications (e.g. switching from a two dimensional chemical structure to a drug name or a SMILES string. This extends the utility and value of the data whilst preserving the integrity of the original data.
SRS version 8.3 includes some exciting new functionality as well as improvements in the user interface and support for new platforms. The latest developments continue our aim of bringing intelligent medical search to the desktops of scientists. In the latest version, scientists are able to add their own annotations to entries that become searchable with SRS. Furthermore, SRS now allows email alerts to be added to any favorite search.

Biowisdom SRS 8.3 FactSheet |
The standard distribution of SRS contains all the components required to integrate the wealth of publicly available bioinformatics and genomic data stored in flat-files, XML files or relational databases. Out-of-the box SRS comes with parsers and support for over 80 public domain databases and hundreds of analysis tools, including sequence similarity, alignment analysis, as well as support for the full EMBOSS suite. SRS is fully customizable and site-specific databanks or tools can be easily integrated.
SRS Prisma significantly reduces the time needed to administer SRS by automating the daily integration of all relevant life science data into the customer’s bioinformatics environment.
SRS Prisma is designed to ensure that all in-house databases (this also includes databases outside of an SRS installation) are current and available so that scientists across the organization can effectively use the most up to date data for their research.
