NEW YORK, April 30 - Genomica said Monday it would develop a “Celera Edition” of its Discovery Manager software to work in conjunction with Celera’s SNP Reference Database.
Genomica of Boulder, Colo., did not disclose financial terms of the deal.
Under the terms of the deal, customers of the SNP database and of Discovery Manager will be able to “seamlessly” use the software to manage analyze Celera’s SNP data, Genomica said. Discovery Manager will also have a link to the Celera database, allowing users to create web-based SNP reports.
"This agreement with Genomica gives researchers an advantage in gathering, organizing and analyzing SNP data," James Peck, Celera's senior vice president of product development, said in a statement.
Last September, Celera’s sister company, Applied Biosystems, made a $3 million equity investment in software developer Genomica. At the time, Genomica also agreed to license its genetic-analysis object model to Applied Biosystems.
