+About Geospiza (http://www.geospiza.com/Company/default.shtml)
+
+Geospiza is a leading developer of enterprise-class software systems
+for workflow management of genetic analysis.
+
+Geospiza has established itself as the life science industry’s top 
+software developer for meeting the combined laboratory, data 
+management and analytical needs of biotechnology and pharmaceutical 
+companies, universities, researchers, contract core and diagnostic 
+laboratories involved in genetic testing and manufacturing bio-
+therapeutics.
+
+The life sciences field is rapidly evolving beyond sequencing genomes 
+for pure research to developing clinically relevant initiatives such 
+as understanding what genetic information is useful for drug 
+development, determining drug efficacy, toxicity screening and 
+diagnosing infectious agents.
+
+This expansion of the field is resulting in a dramatic increase in the
+amount of data that must be managed by genetic testing laboratories 
+and research institutions. Underscoring this growth is the desire by 
+the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the broader healthcare 
+community to match drugs more specifically to a person's individual 
+genetic profile. The FDA is expected to focus on the sensitivity and 
+accuracy of these new diagnostics, thereby increasing the need for 
+verifiable, repeatable processes for testing.
+
+Today, the amount of manual work required to manage and make sense of 
+the vast amounts of genetic information being generated by clinical 
+and life science research laboratories worldwide is tremendous. In 
+order to be able to scale to meet this increased demand and scrutiny 
+in a cost-effective way, automated solutions are required.
+
+Geospiza makes software for crunching the vast amounts of genetic 
+data. When a laboratory uses GeneSifter Lab Edition, they are able to 
+significantly increase capacity, reduce their backlog, eliminate 
+errors due to manual processes, and speed time to discovery. The 
+software is being used today worldwide by leading institutions and 
+laboratories for everything from clinical DNA testing and bio-
+therapeutic manufacturing to contract core lab services and basic 
+research and discovery.
+
+Geospiza's products are designed and built by biologists, enabling 
+researchers to focus on the science, not the software.
