Integrated Genomics™ has particularly long-standing relationships and active research in the area of lactic acid bacteria and pathogenic microbes, as well as a broad customer base across industry, academic and government institutions. Integrated Genomics™' products and services are based on ERGO™, its web-based genome analysis platform. ERGO™ integrates proprietary functional genomic data, metabolic reconstructions, expression profiling, and biochemical and microbiological data with publicly available information. Focused on microbial genomics, ERGO™ provides better and faster identification of gene function across all organisms. In 2010 Integrated Genomics, Inc.'s business operations were transitioned to a new corporation, IG Assets, Inc. With the original Integrated Genomics' team, IG Assets continues to provide the same ERGO-based microbial genomic products and service.
