EBioinformatics
Bioinformatics services to the worldwide bioscience research efforts
About EBioinformatics
EBioinformatics was an Australian bioinformatics company established in 1998 by Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Tim Littlejohn. Headquartered in Sydney, the firm focused on providing services for genome and sequence analysis to the global bioscience research community. The company operated on a subscription-based business model, offering access to its proprietary tools and platforms.
The core of its offering was Bionavigator, an application service provider (ASP) workspace designed for analyzing genomic sequences. This platform integrated BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) functionalities, allowing researchers to perform complex sequence comparisons. To enhance the capabilities of its workspace, EBioinformatics partnered with Molsoft to incorporate ICM software, aiming to improve efficiency in genome analysis. The company's revenue model involved offering one-month trial programs for Bionavigator, which would then convert to paid subscriptions for continued use.
Despite its efforts in a competitive field, EBioinformatics did not secure any funding rounds and is now considered a deadpooled company.
