Our information and services
Our goal at Celera Genomics is to become the world's leading genomic information company by delivering comprehensive genomic information and the best informatics tools and services to turn that information into valuable knowledge.

We have developed an Internet-based business model and delivery strategy that will allow us to grow profitably while offering the biomedical and agricultural research community the information they need to accelerate their discovery process.

Celera provides:

• Subscription access to a comprehensive and continually updated database of genomic, comparative genomic, and related biological, medical, and agricultural information
• State-of-the-art data mining, analysis, and visualization tools
• Information services to efficiently utilize an IT infrastructure

Celera is adding significant value to its databases in the form of sequence annotation, curation, and information services. These genomic databases and informatics tools will accelerate the:

• Discovery and development process for new drugs
• Development of new diagnostic products
• Development of improved agricultural products
• Understanding of interrelationships between individual genetic variability, disease, and drug response

Celera's business vision is based upon Celera founder Dr. J. Craig Venter's success at The Institute for Genomic Research; the expertise of Celera's business development staff, led by Chief Business Officer Dr. Peter Barrett; and the executive vision offered by Celera's parent company, PE Corporation.
