John Wiley and Sons, Inc., and Celera Genomics Announce Linking Agreement
Wiley InterScience to Link with Celera Discovery System

New York, NY and Rockville, MD - November 20, 2001

Patrick Kelly, PhD, Vice President, Scientific Technical and Medical New Business Development at John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE:JWa)(NYSE:JWb), today announced an agreement with Celera Genomics, (NYSE: CRA), an Applera Corporation business, to develop links between cited article references, abstracts, and full-text articles available on the Wiley InterScience online service and the Celera Discovery System (CDS). This agreement is expected to provide subscribers of both services with more direct access to a broad range of bioinformatics data, full-text articles, and abstracts.

“Thanks to the linking agreement we have with Celera Genomics, researchers in genomics and drug discovery will now be able to move with desktop ease from genetic content in Wiley InterScience to Celera’s CDS and from a gene entry or abstract in CDS back to the appropriate article or abstract in Wiley InterScience,” said Dr. Kelly. “This will provide researchers with a more convenient and comprehensive research tool in the life sciences.”

The content on Wiley InterScience, which includes journals such as Cancer, Proteomics, and Human Mutation, will be linked with the content on CDS, which includes the Human Genome Database, Human Gene Index, Drosophila Genome Database, Drosophila Gene Index, Mouse Genome Reference Database, and SNP Reference Database.

“We are pleased to offer our subscribers access to Wiley’s InterScience database, a premier scientific literature database,” said Jason Mollé, general manager for Celera’s online business. “This is the start of Celera's strategy of directly linking literature to genomic and biological databases. We believe the cross analysis of these key databases should help accelerate breakthrough discoveries.”

CDS is an integrated, web-based platform that enables users to leverage Celera’s computational tools, super-computing power, and genomic and biological data to advance the discovery process for researchers worldwide. It integrates Celera's exclusive databases, essential public and third-party sources, and analysis and visualization tools in one system.

Wiley InterScience, Wiley's online content service, was launched in the fall of 1997 to respond to the growing worldwide demand for important, reliable, and timely scientific, technical, medical and professional information. Since January 7, 1999, more than 300 journals in full text dating back to January 1997, as well as the full range of services available from Wiley InterScience, are accessible to subscribers and their authorized users. Beginning last year, Wiley InterScience is also the online platform for major reference works, most recently including the Current Protocols Online laboratory manuals series and Patty’s Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology.
