Palo Alto, CA 1/5/05 -- Agilent has acquired Computational Biology, developer of ChIP (chromatin immuno-precipitation)-on-chip technology, a microarray-based technique for understanding gene regulation in disease by analyzing how regulatory proteins interact with the genome of living cells. "We expect that emerging applications in ChIP-on-chip analysis and comparative genomics will grow to become 10%, or at least $100 million, of the total microarray market by 2007", said Fran DiNuzzo, vice president and general manager of Agilent Intergrated Biology Solutions.
