Geospiza Pairs with Biomax Solutions and AME Bioscience

Jun 09, 2004

NEW YORK, June 9 (GenomeWeb News) -- There may not be chirps and tweets coming from the Biomax Optimized Research Environment, a bioinformatics system, or the refurbished used sequencing instruments sold by AME Bioscience, but there will be a Finch there.

The two vendors today announced sales alliances to include Geospiza’s Finch Sequencing Center software within their respective product offerings. Financial details were not disclosed.

Biomax Solutions of Falmouth, Mass., and Geospiza of Seattle will co-develop a bioinformatics package that will be sold under the product name, Optimized Research Environment, for analyzing and managing DNA sequencing data. 

AME Bioscience of Norway will bundle Finch with the used Applied Biosystems and Amersham Bioscience sequencing instruments it sells.
