The figure below outlines the content within NextBio's publicly searchable data.
(Roll your mouse over the segments in the figure, for more information.)
Data points
NextBio searches 1.2 billion data points from tens of thousands of study results and multiple experimental platforms.
Studies
Search over
10000 study results classified by therapeutic area.
Genes
NextBio enables you to search genes using universal gene identifiers, such as GenBank accession numbers, as well as platform-specific identifiers such as those corresponding to Affymetrix, Illumnia, Agilent and GE. Furthermore, genes are connected to their cross-species homologues so your data search automatically spans all available models.
Biogroups
Over 24000 Biogroups including functional gene sets grouped by shared gene ontologies, pathways, regulatory motifs, miRNA-target sequences and more.
Tissues
Thousands of tissues concepts built on an ontology incorporating the multitude level relationships between anatomical parts.
Diseases
Over 65000 comprehensive Disease concepts.
Compounds
NextBio searches on 8 million compound clusters that are accessible through any of the multiple synonyms each are referenced by. For instance, some of the many terms you can use to find the chemical, morphine in NextBio: morphine, dreamer [street name], morfina [Italian], Roxanol [brand name], 64-31-3 [CAS no.] and 5288826 [PubChem ID].
Organisms
Search for genes and studies from Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. Coming soon: support for other organisms including plants.
Literature
Search over 17 million articles as you would in PubMed only to get enhanced results. Firstly, NextBio's heuristics include intelligent features such as inclusion of synonyms for a more comprehensive set of results. Secondly, in one click, you are able to search a larger universe: literature + data, genes, biogroups, compounds, diseases and tissues.
