Genaissance and Otsuka will be co-owners of the intellectual property that results from the collaboration and both companies will be eligible to receive royalties on revenues generated from diagnostic products resulting from the collaboration.

"We are very pleased that we will be collaborating with Otsuka," said Kevin Rakin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Genaissance Pharmaceuticals.

"We believe this agreement is another indication that pharmacogenomics is becoming an important tool for drug development."
