Press Release:
Quertle Announces Content Expansion and Partnership with FierceMarkets

Boulder, CO; January 21, 2010 - Quertle, LLC has expanded the content covered by its innovative, free website, www.quertle.info, for searching the biomedical, life science, and chemical literature. With this release, Quertle adds full-text scientific whitepapers and research posters to the PubMed and full-text journals already in place. In addition, through a partnership with FierceMarkets - the publisher of FierceBiotech, FiercePharma, and FierceBiotech Research - Quertle has incorporated current news articles to enable researchers to find announcements of critical discoveries and industry activities in advance of published results.

Quertle uses advanced linguistic methods to find critical assertions (such as "gene A causes disease B") within the literature, thereby focusing search results on the most meaningful documents, not just delivering papers where the search terms are found randomly. This relationship-driven searching, coupled with an easy to use interface - including filtering by automatically extracted key concepts- has made Quertle an important tool for biomedical researchers.

"We are excited to partner with FierceMarkets to add news reports to Quertle's content," said Jeffrey Saffer, Quertle's President. "Fierce provides broad coverage of the biomedical field and is a natural partner for Quertle's efforts to provide the most relevant content for its users."

"We are pleased that news from FierceMarkets' life sciences publications is now indexed by Quertle," said Arsalan Arif, Publisher, FierceMarkets. "Their search engine provides easy and meaningful access to the biomedical literature and related content, for which news is an important component."
