Products.Just think what you could do with all the world's biomedical research data behind a single search bar. Plex Search is a cloud-based search engine that connects the world's scientific data. Plex Search analyzes all available data sets and returns the best answers for your search. The results are simple, and all supporting data is included, so you can come to your own conclusions.

Plex ProfessionalThe Plex Professional search engine connects all types scientific data, including:
We do the hard work of integrating data from a broad array of public sources and databases so you don't have to. The algorithms in Plex Professional highlight connections and display results with the most connections.
|
Plex EnterprisePlex Enterprise allows organizations to make the most use of their internal scientific data by connecting the public data available in Plex Basic with their own, proprietary data.
Universal Data Search: Plex not only makes your data accessible, searchable, but also shows scientists how their data is connected to the broader scientific knowledge-base (both public and private) using the same algorithms that power Plex Professional. Universal Algorithm Search: Plex Enterprise can also incorporate the results from internal algorithms (e.g. target prediction algorithms) into the Plex Search results. This allows scientists to seamlessly link algorithm results to other research findings. Security: Scientific data is uploaded into a private, secure AWS instance, and easily managed by any bioinformatics or IT professional. |
Features. |
01 Simple User InterfaceIt doesn't get any easier than this.Simply enter your search term into Plex Search and hit Enter. You can search with anything that's been loaded into the search engine – a compound, target disease, pathway, publication, etc.

02 Simple ResultsDon't like the result? Scroll down.The best results to a query are always on top. Plex Search's algorithm ranks connections based on the amount and diversity of supporting data. Results with more supporting data appear on top, and can be compared by using the relative Plex Score.
|
03 Fully TransparentAll supporting data at your fingertips.Plex Search is fully transparent providing all of the evidence for a search results with direct links to the source material. Individual lines of evidence start with those that are most direct and contain the most data, making it easy for scientists to validate existing hypotheses or to form new ones.

04 Chemistry AwareDraw or modify any molecule.Plex is chemistry aware. You can draw chemical structures, paste in SMILES strings, InChIs, InChIKeys, even for entirely novel compounds. The built in chemical similarity engine automatically maps your compound to other similar compounds and continues the search from there. This makes your search more expansive and allowing you to search all similar chemical space without even knowing it. Your search isn't limited to just your molecule. You can find out what is known about a molecule even before it is synthesized.
Modifying structure on-the-fly makes it easy to perform off-target analysis |
05 ExtensibleUpload any data set, incorporate any algorithm.Our search model is truly universal, so although we’re initially focused on life sciences data, really ANY kind of data can be made searchable. We can also include AI-powered or other algorithms as part of the search - as long as they’re performant and as long as they have an API – they can be included. So Plex can be the glue that brings the entire organizations’ data and algorithms together.
So while other search engines are limited to web pages and documents, Plex can search data in all its many forms – whether it’s relational databases, NoSQL, flat file formats, and even directly from algorithms themselves. Plex Search comes with one of the most sophisticated molecular similarity algorithms built in. This 2D molecular similarity algorithm runs in every search in real-time and automatically connects molecules in a similar space to targets, diseases, pathways, publications and patents. This allows scientists to search new chemical material and to discover previously unknown connections. |
