(PresseBox) (Madison, )
Roche NimbleGen Inc., a company of Roche Applied Science, announced today that it has formed a strategic alliance with BioDiscovery, Inc. to offer complete solutions to comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) microarray customers. The new high-density 2.1 million probe (HD2) arrays of Roche NimbleGen combined with industry-leading proprietary software, Nexus Copy Number, of BioDiscovery bring unprecedented power and ease in whole-genome CGH analysis. As part of this alliance Roche NimbleGen and BioDiscovery will co-market and co-promote their products and services to scientists worldwide. The companies also plan to present data generated from NimbleGen CGH arrays using Nexus software of BioDiscovery to the research community through a series of seminars.

"This alliance with BioDiscovery will enable Roche NimbleGen to significantly enhance the customer experience by providing complete data analysis solutions for our customers using NimbleGen arrays for CGH analysis. At the same time we are excited about the opportunity to develop a strong business relationship with BioDiscovery in offering complete solutions to our customers in genomics and life sciences," said Srini Ramachandra, Senior Director for Software Marketing at Roche NimbleGen.
