(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced the first release of the Rosetta Resolver(TM) Expression Data Analysis System for life science research, marking the beginning of a series of exclusive gene expression technologies resulting from the strategic alliance between Agilent and Rosetta Inpharmatics Inc. The alliance, announced last December, is expected to result in new tools that will greatly accelerate the work of researchers as they begin analyzing the vast quantities of data generated by the genomics revolution. The Rosetta Resolver is a turnkey, enterprise-wide, gene-expression, bioinformatics Using computers in biological research to analyze or predict the composition of molecules (nucleic acids, proteins, etc.) and model biologic systems. Bioinformatics is most prominent in the Human Genome Project, which has recorded the three billion chemical base pairs that make up the solution for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agriculture industries that enables researchers to simultaneously monitor multiple pathways and targets within a cell -- a capability referred to as "comprehensive target profiling." When combined with Agilent's innovative DNA microarray DNA microarray A small solid support, usually a membrane or glass slide, on which sequences of DNA are fixed in an orderly arrangement. DNA microarrays are used for rapid surveys of the expression of many genes simultaneously, as the sequences contained on a technologies, Rosetta Resolver gives scientists a powerful tool to quickly identify new target genes of interest in the quest for Verb 1. quest for - go in search of or hunt for; "pursue a hobby" quest after, go after, pursue look for, search, seek - try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of; "The police are searching for clues"; "They are searching for the new drugs and foods. The Rosetta Resolver system combines software, hardware and database architecture to enable storage, retrieval and high-level analysis of massive volumes of expression data. This solution is ideal for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and agricultural companies needing to assess compound specificity, identify new genes or targets, or compare compound profiles to gold standards for existing drugs or agrochemicals. This enterprise-wide system combines flexibility and ease of use with high-performance algorithms to produce rapid, accurate results from complex gene expression data. The system can accept and analyze data from most commonly used expression profiling Microarray technology is often used for gene expression profiling. It makes use of the sequence resources created by the genome sequencing projects and other sequencing efforts to answer the question, technologies, and from single or multiple experiments. "We are pleased to offer the exclusive Rosetta Resolver bioinformatics system to our customers in Europe, Japan and the U.S. who are using gene expression analysis to identify new drug candidates. Agilent is committed to providing the highest caliber tools to enable drug discovery and the Rosetta Resolver system will strongly complement our current DNA microarray offering," said Richard D. (Rick) Kniss, senior vice president and general manager of Agilent's Chemical Analysis Group. "Our customers will now be able to glean glean v. gleaned, glean·ing, gleans v.intr.

The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all and analysis capabilities for mining gene expression array data in an enterprise-wide solution." U.S. Availability The Rosetta Resolver product line is available in several flexible packages designed to meet the needs of both large and small organizations.
