SEATTLE, Washington, April 8, 2010 - Aditi Technologies, a leading provider of software product and
application development services, today announced its foray into IP led
solutions by launching "DNA PReDuST". This solution is deployed on top of
Microsoft Biology Foundation (MBF), Microsoft's recent Bioinformatics
platform offering, co-engineered by Aditi & Microsoft.

"DNA PReDuST" or "DNA Parallel Restriction Digestion using
Suffix Trees", is an in-silico software solution targeted at scientists
involved in Bioinformatics, Genomics and Pharma research to identify
appropriate slots in a DNA sequence at which it can be cleaved for in-vitro
experiments. A limited period free download of DNA PReDuST is available at
www.aditi.com/product_eng_microsoft_solutions_BioTech.aspx

What makes it stand out is the fact that this is the first
solution in the market that not only supports all kinds of restriction
enzymes (Type I, II and III) but also takes into account real time laboratory
conditions (i.e. temperature and pH) while conducting the experiments, thus
significantly boosting test accuracy, reducing multiple iterations & cycle
time, and resulting in considerable cost savings.

It also offers some interesting and intuitive visualizations
for DNA's restriction and digestion maps, which are significant productivity
accelerators for researchers.

Commenting on this development, Pankaj Jindal, President -
Aditi Technologies, said "IP based solutions are exciting and firmly in-line
with our vertical alignment strategy. This solution is a testimony of Aditi's
Bioinformatics software engineering prowess and deep understanding of
industry pain points."

Welcoming the move, Simon Mercer, Director of Health and
Wellbeing - Microsoft, said "We at Microsoft are happy to see Aditi
Technologies taking a lead in extending Microsoft Biology Foundation. This is
a step towards unleashing the true potential of this framework and we offer
our support and best wishes for the success of this effort."

Aditi Technologies is a core member of Microsoft led BioIT
Alliance - www.bioitalliance.org/ - a cross-industry group working to
integrate science and technology to accelerate bioinformatics and
pharmaceutical research.
