Michelle Gregoire 603.862.0126University of New Hampshire Office for Research Partnerships and CommercializationSeptember 7, 2007DURHAM, N.H. – ZS Genetics, Inc. and the University of New Hampshire have signed a long-term contract for technology development in genetic analysis.ZS Genetics and the Hubbard Center for Genome Studies at UNH bring their developmentrelationship to a new level with the signing of a three-year contract. This agreement supportsthe development of technology and intellectual property for ZS Genetics’ radically differentgenetic analysis technology. Financial terms were not disclosed.Dr. Kelley Thomas, Hubbard Chair and co-director of the Hubbard Center, said, “We are verypleased to be working with a company at the cutting edge of genetic analysis technology. It isexciting work to be part of an effort that has the potential to revolutionize genetic sequencing,expression read lengths and gene analysis in general.”William R. Glover, III, president of ZS Genetics, said, “The Hubbard Center and UNH havebeen very helpful, it is truly a pleasure to work with such a great team. The accomplishmentswe have made speak to the center’s commitment to promote the development of thebiotechnology industry in the region and support of the university’s commitment topartnerships for technology-based economic development.”About ZS GeneticsZS Genetics, Inc. is developing a technology platform for directly creating detailed images ofindividual DNA or RNA molecules. Applications for ZSG’s radically-different technologyplatform have been identified in the Expression, Sequencing and Diagnostics markets. ZSGenetics’ technology shows the promise of sequencing whole genomes in days instead ofmonths, for thousands of dollars instead of millions. Applied to Gene Expression, the ZSGtechnology is expected to offer scientists the ability to measure the activity of hundreds tothousands of genes in a single-cell, with single-molecule sensitivity.About the UNH ubbard Center for Genome StudiesEstablished in 2001 to lead the development of genomics research at UNH, the HubbardCenter for Genome Studies is a leader in comparative and environmental genomics, with a9/11/17, 1'32 PMZS Genetics and the University of New Hampshire Sign Long-Term Development ContractPage 2 of 2http://www.unh.edu/delete/news/cj_nr/2007/sep/mg07genetics.cfm.htmlspecial emphasis on novel model species. The center plays a leading role in education andtraining in genetics through a seminar series, short courses, lab rotations for graduatestudents and the distribution of protocols. It is housed at the University of New Hampshire,New Hampshire’s flagship public university.
