SARASOTA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/15/2005 -- DNAPrint™ genomics, Inc. (OTC BB: DNAG), a developer of genomics-based products and services, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the clinical genomics and genotyping assets of Ellipsis Biotherapeutics Corporation ("Ellipsis"), a privately held drug and diagnostic discovery company based in Toronto, Canada.

Under terms of the agreement, Ellipsis is selling these core assets for 6,500,000 shares of DNAPrint genomics common stock. Pending completion of DNAPrint due diligence and Ellipsis shareholder approval, the transaction is expected to be completed by Nov. 30, 2005. DNAPrint will retain Ellipsis' employees, management and business operations. In addition, DNAPrint will retain the Ellipsis Biotherapeutics name and operate Ellipsis Biotherapeutics as a subsidiary of DNAPrint genomics.

"Ellipsis has developed novel drug technologies and has spun those operations out," stated Hector J. Gomez, M.D., Ph.D., DNAPrint Chairman and Chief Medical Officer and head of its wholly owned DNAPrint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. subsidiary. "The value for DNAPrint is that Ellipsis' platform technology is highly compatible with our mission to expand our capabilities and increase our revenues."

Richard Gabriel, DNAPrint President and Chief Executive Officer, noted that DNAPrint is actively involved in development of pharmacogenomics through in-house research, licensing agreements and the acquisition of synergistic technologies, all targeting future growth for the Company. "Our recent acquisition of Kenna Technologies, which builds computer models that mimic complex biological systems, as well as Ellipsis' synergistic gene platform applications, will broaden our capabilities and add to the growing number of products in our pipeline."

Ellipsis is located in downtown Toronto adjacent to the academic health science complex and major teaching hospitals. Using the Beckman Coulter GenomeLab SNPstream and the Illumina Beadstation, Ellipsis performs contract SNP genotyping for academic centers, hospitals, human health care corporations and biotech companies. Its diverse services include human, plant and animal analyses.

"We are very excited to become part of the DNAPrint group of companies," stated Dr. Laurence Rubin, Chief Executive Officer of Ellipsis. "Our core competencies provide a unique fit for the future growth and development of our contract services as well as opportunity to participate in novel research programs and collaborations."
