SALT LAKE CITY, May 7, 2002 - Linux NetworX announced today that the first
genomics ASP (application service provider) is powered by a Linux NetworX
cluster supercomputer to provide users with online genetic research access.
SEQUENOM, Inc. (Nasdaq: SQNM), a discovery genetics company, is providing the
ASP, known as RealSNP.com(TM), to include its database of millions of gene
sequences to offer the most comprehensive online genomics research tool
available today.

With the click of a mouse, researchers from small and large organizations
that otherwise would not have access to gene sequences and supercomputing
technology, can access SEQUENOM's online database, RealSNP.com, to search for
genetic codes and to design and test their own genetic sequences. In the
past, researchers in academic and commercial organizations were often
restricted in the amount of research they could conduct because of the large
cost associated with sophisticated computers and licensing fees for genomic
databases. With the combined efforts of SEQUENOM and Linux NetworX, the
computing power and genomics data are available online, providing researchers
with affordable and convenient access to necessary research tools.

"Genetic information that was previously expensive or time consuming to
generate is now readily available for researchers for a variety of uses
including detecting the medical impact of genes and genetic variations," said
Rick Lapp, computational biologist for SEQUENOM. "With the cluster from Linux
NetworX, we are able to provide our customers with quick access to genomics
information and supercomputing power to further enhance research endeavors in
the life sciences."

Cluster technology is a method of linking multiple computers, or computer
nodes, together to form a powerful, unified system. Linux NetworX clusters
can match the performance of traditional supercomputers for a fraction of the
cost. The design of clusters also create a very reliable platform for ASP and
ISP (internet service providers) models.   

A major factor contributing to SEQUENOM's decision to use a Linux cluster was
their need for a computing system that could function as a web server,
database provider and number cruncher all in one machine. With the use of a
Linux NetworX cluster, SEQUENOM is able to provide all the functions the
RealSNP.com online database needs to produce fast and accurate genomic
information. SEQUENOM was also attracted to the expertise Linux NetworX
demonstrated in its products and services.

"In today's bioinformatics industry, access to accurate and validated
information is vital, but not every research organization has the need for an
in-house cluster system," said Clark Roundy, vice president of marketing for
Linux NetworX. "An ASP model using Linux cluster technology literally brings
supercomputing power to the masses."
