If you are exploring the latest frontiers, Applera (formerly PE Corporation) has some of the tools you may need. Its Applied Biosystems unit makes data-managing life science systems (most of Applera's sales) used in the pharmaceutical, food, agriculture, biotechnology, and chemical manufacturing industries. Applera's Celera Genomics unit sequenced the human genome and plans to license its genetic databases to biotech and drug companies for medical discoveries. The three companies plan to combine their expertise to identify gene markers for diseases, then develop and commercialize drugs based on their findings.
