InforMax Announces Alliance with TimeLogic

<%=company1%> (Rockville, MD), a leading developer of bioinformatics software for accelerated drug discovery, today announced plans for a collaboration with TimeLogic Corp. of Incline Village, NV. The relationship will link TimeLogic's DeCypher bioinformatics accelerator product with InforMax's GenoMax enterprise bioinformatics framework. Both companies also plan to aggressively sell and promote each other's products through the creation of a channel relationship.

"An integration with TimeLogic will provide our mutual customers with a greatly enhanced processing performance," said Alex Titomirov, president and CEO of InforMax. "Our relationship with TimeLogic is a natural part of our High Throughput Research™ architecture, which is designed to give our customers the tools and capability to analyze and manage the increasingly large amounts of genetic data."

"The exponential growth rate of genomic data and bioinformatics computation exceeds Moore's Law, implying that conventional computing strategies will be costly and problematic to scale up," said Jim Lindelien, chairman and CEO of TimeLogic Corp. "DeCypher accelerators are the smart alternative to huge server farms, recapturing computational capacity at much lower cost. Combined with GenoMax's rich feature set, this product combination is a uniquely powerful and effective solution for mining the most value from genomic assets in the shortest time. With completion and release of the human genome imminent, the race is on."
