About
Currently, in the antibody market, there is massive source obfuscation which suppliers use to artificially increase prices. This is costing the scientific community hundreds of millions of dollars each year and limiting information sharing. Ryzome fixes this problem. As an exercise, we can easily find the same p53 antibody from two suppliers. It is the same antibody because the clone number (DO-1), amino acid sequence, and isotype are identical. http://www.abcam.com/p53-antibody-do-1-ab1101.html - 100ug for $401 http://www.biolegend.com/purified-anti-p53-antibody-5871.html - 100ug for $190 A customer can go to our site and type in "Abcam ab1101". We will tell them that it's the same as "Biolegend 645702", but for half the cost. However, our algorithm searches across hundreds of suppliers, not just two. Also notice that each supplier has unique images and journal citations. We would compile all of this information together, giving scientists access to all known antibody data.
