Agilent Technologies And Rosetta Biosoftware To Integrate Rosetta Resolver System And GeneSpring Software

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) and Rosetta Biosoftware announced today that their flagship gene expression analysis products, the Rosetta Resolver(r) system and Agilent's GeneSpring software, are being integrated through the use of the Rosetta Resolver Software Development Kit (SDK). The integration will provide biologists and chemists with a flexible and scalable analysis solution that will appeal to both Resolver and GeneSpring users.

The Rosetta Resolver system is a versatile, scalable and robust gene expression data management and analysis system designed to meet the scientific and business requirements of company-wide gene expression research efforts. GeneSpring software is a powerful visualization and analysis solution for displaying and analyzing large gene expression datasets on a typical desktop computer.

"Rosetta Biosoftware has consistently communicated its fervent dedication to providing the best available solutions to its customers," said Yelena Shevelenko, vice president and general manager of Rosetta Biosoftware. "Our collaboration with Agilent to offer integration between the Resolver system and GeneSpring software demonstrates our commitment and recognizes our customers' need to explore gene expression data within a single data access and analysis environment that combines the best features of the two most powerful gene expression data analysis solutions."

"Our customers are increasingly focused on breaking the silos that exist between scientific disciplines to integrate their findings from gene expression analysis, genotyping, proteomics and location analysis," said François Mandeville, manager of Agilent's Informatics Solutions. "This integrated solution from Rosetta Biosoftware and Agilent is an important step in enabling systems biology though open informatics solutions."

The Rosetta Resolver system is developed and supported by Rosetta Biosoftware. The Resolver system and GeneSpring software are distributed exclusively by Agilent.
