Applied Biosystems, Inc. (formerly NASDAQ: ABIO) is the original name of a pioneer biotechnology company founded in 1981 in Foster City, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through the 1980s it operated independently and manufactured biochemicals and automated genetic engineering and diagnostic research instruments, including the principal brand of DNA sequencing machine used by the Human Genome Project consortium centers. Applied Biosystems' close ties to the consortium project led to the idea for the founding of Celera Genomics (NYSE: CRA) in 1998 as one of several independent competitors to the consortium. In 1993 Applied Biosystems was delisted from the NASDAQ when it was acquired by the old company known then as Perkin-Elmer (formerly NYSE: PKN).
