Regulating DNA (tests)

24 May, 2010 (15:05) | Genomics News | By: Trey

I’ve mentioned before that personal genomics seemed to have hit a tipping point. Some of the evidence of that seems to be that the FDA and other regulatory agencies have taken a heightened interest in mass-market gene and genomics tests. That is going to be the next step in our progress towards personal genomics and [...]

Personal Genomics, clinical assessment and online resources

4 May, 2010 (00:38) | General Science, Genomics News, Genomics Resource News | By: Trey

The Lancet paper, Clinical assessment incorporating a personal genome, has held my fascination this weekend (yes, I read it at the beach). Mary posted Friday and again Saturday on the paper and related NPR segment. It feels to me to be a seminal paper, though I do agree with Daniel at Genetic Future, there are [...]
