REDWOOD CITY, California, February 16 - Ingenuity(R) Systems, the leading provider of information solutions for
life science researchers, today announced the addition of dynamic reports,
new weekly content updates, and metabolomics workflow support in the latest
release of IPA(R) software.

Life science researchers need to keep up with increasingly complex
developments in the diagnosis, treatment, and etiology of diseases. Through
the new IPA reports, researchers now have a centralized location to summarize
and communicate key insights regarding the broader biological and therapeutic
relevance of a particular pathway, analysis, or list of molecules (genes,
proteins, or chemicals) associated with a disease. IPA reports can be easily
shared and have active links so all team members can access valuable,
targeted information. In addition, Ingenuity content updates occur weekly and
are manually reviewed, ensuring the knowledge in each report is up-to-date
and accurate.

"The combination of weekly content updates with the new dynamic reports
in IPA 8.5 helped numerous translational medicine and systems biology
projects at the Erasmus MC to create clear and targeted summaries for several
relevant genes associated with the disease we are studying," stated Dr.
Andreas Kremer, Research Scientist, Erasmus Medical Center. "Because of the
accuracy of Ingenuity's current and detailed biomedical knowledge, we were
able to confidently leverage recent discoveries along with our proprietary
data and come to a novel, up-to-date understanding of the relevance of these
genes in the context of the disease."

Other high impact features in IPA 8.5 include streamlined metabolomics
workflows, collaborative workspaces, and new pathway and disease content. For
