Microsoft has purchased software from Merck & Co. to make its Amalga data-aggregation and management software more useful to life sciences and pharmaceutical researchers, the company said Monday.

Microsoft has signed an agreement to buy the assets of Rosetta Biosoftware, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merck. The move will allow it to add features to its Amalga Life Sciences software for managing genetic, genomic, metabolomic and proteonics research data.
