I had no intention of posting for a few days because of the holiday, but this was just too funny to pass up. I had to watch it a couple of times to catch everything; even the crawls at the bottom are hysterical. Hat tip to Casey Bergman for retweeting this–I might have missed it [...]
Well, this changes my morning. It’s a 150 page report. Get the report itself here: Privacy and Progress in Whole Genome Sequencing Press or blog coverage (I’ll update if I see others): Nature: US ethics panel reports on DNA sequencing and privacy Science: President’s Ethics Panel Urges New Protections for Whole Genome Data AP: Bioethics [...]
Hey folks–just a quick reminder of an interview with Misha this Sunday evening (North America). Other times found here: Event Time Announcer. If you can’t make it, the recording goes up a bit later in the week and you can check it out then. Here’s the blurb from Skeptically Speaking, on Google+ (and you can [...]
Joanne Manaster, who blogs at Scientific American and is also an active participant on Google+ these days offers a video review of two books that might be of interest to readers here. Check ‘em out:
Over the long holiday weekend I noticed an interesting item in my twitter feed. A number of people were pointing to the post entitled: My Genome Via E-mail by David Ewing Duncan. Some of you may be familiar with David’s writing and his big project called “Experimental Man“. He has been exploring all sorts of [...]
So it appears that the decision is now out on the case against Myriad’s patents on the BRCA diagnostic testing. I haven’t read the decision yet, I saw a great stream of tidbits coming from @genomicslawyer, Dan Vorhaus. Check out the whole thing, starting around here and working upwards: @genomicslawyer: $MYGN opinion is out: bit.ly/qe3bZm [...]
Recently my twitter feed was burning up at the live presentation at TEDxBoston by Richard Resnick. I had caught most of it (thanks to the tweeps who sent word), and scribbled down a few notes. But mostly I wrote in my notebook that I needed to seek out this talk on the web later and [...]
This is a talk from a Ted Med in October of 2010, but I just watched it and it is relevant for the state of play in this field today. For people who don’t know Church, he’s one of the leaders of Knome, Inc (one of the personal genomics companies) and also of the Personal [...]
I did a tip of the week on SNPTips a few months ago (more information there). It’s a great addon to view your genomic data while browsing databases and web sites. They’ve moved to version 1.1. There are two nice new features and some bug fixes. The features are: *You can now use your deCODEme [...]
He is. But it’s not his fault. A lot of people have this wrong. There’s an article in the Australian press that is getting some buzz. Nobel Laureate Barry Marshall (of ulcer-causing bacteria identification fame) is talking about the personal genomics wave that’s coming our way. It’s been picked up and re-tweeted quite a bit, [...]
