A group of research institutes and European SMEs have partnered to develop a new bioinformatics platform GENOBOX which helps predict functional properties of food bacteria and probiotics based on their genome sequence.
The tool will incorporate a set of algorithms for annotation of genes, metabolic modeling, text mining, and transcriptome analysis.
GENOBOX can compare the data with numerous genomes of micro-organisms available in the public domain.
