Drug development is a time-consuming and costly process.
For every new drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, countless others never reach clinical trials. Pharmaceutical researchers require more efficient, effective, and powerful tools to help them identify the most promising therapies early in the development cycle. ZooSeq software also enables scientists to conduct cross-species comparisons of genes. This is particularly important because the ZooSeq database emphasizes tissues that are less readily available from humans. The rapidly growing ZooSeq database currently contains rat, mouse, dog and monkey gene sequences, derived from Incyte's renowned proprietary sequencing program.
