We are experienced in applying the tools of Bioinformatics and Data Management to help drive research and development in Biotechnology companies.

Over the years we have worked with a range of companies with wide variety of research programs. We understand molecular and cell biology and, just as important, we understand the business needs of our clients.

We can work with you to design data management solutions that meet the needs of your staff, not just in the lab but also in business development. We combine that understanding with first-class technical excellence in writing software, building databases and delivering effective user interfaces.

Our consulting and contract work falls into three categories:

Bioinformatics Consulting

Ames IT provides bioinformatics consulting services for a variety of applications, including DNA and protein sequence analysis, small RNA and diagnostic DNA primer set design, microarray analysis, and more

Ames IT and Numeric Solutions provides consulting, software development and data analysis services in many aspects of the field, to both biotechnology business, medical institutes, and academics. Our service includes :

  • cDNA sequence analysis – clustering, subtractions
  • Genomic sequence analysis
  • Microarray analysis – image processing and data analysis
  • Custom databases for handling analysis results
  • Software for automated detection of sequence novelty
  • Prokaryote genome analysis
  • Analyses of microbial diversity associated with human disease

Our approach to the work has evolved from many years of practical experience and a deep understanding of both the techniques of sequence analysis and the data itself.

We use all the tools and data available to us to work on a project. This involves a mix of third party and our own proprietary software. We routinely build custom tools to extend our portfolio and to help us address the specific needs of our clients.We make use of all public data but we also augment that with some of our proprietary extensions and annotations of that data, providing views of the data that are not available in the public sources.

By working with Ames IT you gain immediate access to world class expertise in bioinformatics. You don’t need to spend the time, money and effort to build that expertise in-house and you avoid the long term committment that an internal operation demands. And you will be working with professionals who will directly address the real needs of your research staff instead of selling you a prepackaged solution.

Next-generation Sequencing Data Consultation and Processing

We provide consultation and assistance in selecting, deploying and developing tools and applications for data analysis related to next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, including ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, and whole genome sequencing for scientific investigators with limited resources in bioinformatics and biostatistics.

Our Services include:

Customized consultation and assistance in selecting proper software package(s) of academic and industrial recognition for specific analytic applications related to NGS data.

Local deployment of tools and applications on customer-specified hardware. Services include but not limited to packages such as SOAP, MIRA, GATK, samtools, MACS, HOMER, Galaxy.

Development of customized scripts and software packages for high-throughput analysis of NGS data. Services include but not limited to development of R libraries for customer-specified analytic purposes, Perl/Java applications for NGS data processing, and web interface of command-line applications.

Software Development for Bio-scientists

We develop custom research data management systems and specialized bioinformatics software that help drive your research programs forward

Contact us at bioinfo@ames-it-solutions.com for more detailed information of our software products and specialized consulting services in bioinformaics and bio-data management.

A large portion of our work involves developing custom data management systems for biotechnology research. These typically handle broader types of data than the focused bioinformatics tools that we also develop.

Systems that we have built and deployed in the past include those for in-house DNA sequence management, tracking invention disclosures by research staff, general research project management and display of data.

Our web-based solutions use similar components and frameworks such as a back-end relational database, a web server and a suite of web pages and scripts. Web applications will allow all users to get access to the resources and databases, display static and animated images for proteins and molecules, allow user query of bio-data in different format, and run customized computing tasks to get more insights into the biological question you are working on.

The specific technologies that we use in these applications include but not limited to:

  • SQL Server 2005/2008 relational database
  • Java/J2EE technologies
  • MVC based Web application framework
  • Apache/Tomcat web server
  • HTML5, JavaScript and AJAX
  • R/SAS/Matlab Statistical and data warehouse support
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning
  • Windows and UNIX based OS
  • Customized Mobile Application

Our approach to the work has evolved from many years of practical experience and a deep understanding of both the techniques of sequence analysis and the data itself.

We use all the tools and data available to us to work on a project. This involves a mix of third party and our own proprietary software.

This portfolio of software provides a very efficient way to develop effective, flexible and professional web applications in relatively short development cycles.
