DNA Precision Launched, Offering Tools for Healthcare Research, Gene Discovery and Analysis Services

GAINESVILLE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
DNA Precision has begun offering services for genetic research and healthcare
research. These include gene discovery, Agilent microarray processing and
bioinformatics. DNA Precision is a division of EcoArray, Inc., a 7-year old
environmental genomics firm in Gainesville, FL.

John Rogers, EcoArray`s President, said, "We started DNA Precision to provide
the gene discovery and analysis services we have developed for our work in
environmental testing to a broader base of customers in health care and
personalized medicine research, as well as government and academic research."
DNA Precision offers complete gene discovery and analysis services, from library
development to bioinformatics under both GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) and
non-GLP standards.

DNA Precisions` services are directed at the new field of genetic research,
which has led to better understanding of chronic diseases such as cancer and is
opening the way to the exciting field of personalized medicine.

Barbara Carter, EcoArray`s Research Director, said, "We developed our processes
with a focus on environmental testing. Since little work had been done in
genomics in this area, we built the processes for our environmental business
from the ground up. It now seems like a good idea to offer these services - gene
libraries, contract sequencing, microarray development, microarray processing,
PCR primer design and bioinformatics - to the broader research and healthcare
research community."

Precision`s parent, EcoArray, has done gene discovery and related work in over
two dozen species for researchers in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Working
primarily in environmental toxicology, EcoArray has developed gene microarrays
for the fathead minnow (a primary model species for fresh water in the U.S.),
large- and small-mouth bass, Daphnia magna and the sheepshead minnow (in
development).
