Two startups in the bourgeoning proteomics software sector are hoping to get a boost in the market by integrating their respective products.

Last week, GenoLogics and Proteome Software said that they would integrate Proteome Software's Scaffold analysis software with GenoLogics' ProteusLIMS data-management platform.

Both companies were founded within the past several years to address the informatics demands of the proteomics research market, and officials from both companies described their offerings as complementary rather than competitive.
