Why I Hope Genetic Testing Advances Rapidly

By elander7 on | From elander-anthony.blogspot.com
Like everyone else (or at least most everyone else), I hope that future advances in genetic testing will help us (and me) both to succeed in preventing diseases and to ameliorate or even cure illnesses when they do occur.  At some point in the future, I would love to be able to take a genetic test and not only learn whether or not I am more susceptible (than average) to getting certain conditions but also to determine whether a certain drug or neutriceutical will work for me.  Heck, I might...Read Full Story

Human Genome for $1000

By tissuepathology on | From tissuepathology.com
The  Wall Street Journal  (1/10, A2, Winslow, Wang, Subscription Publication) reports that Life Technologies Corp, developer of the Ion Torrent sequencing platform, is planning to offer the sequencing of a human genome for $1,000 by the end of 2012. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) set the goal of a $1,000 genome in 2004, and the Journal notes that the initiative has already helped lower the cost of sequencing a human genome. However, American Society for Clinical...Read Full Story

500 Years Ago, The Number Of Native Americans Plummets By Half Reveals Genome Analysis

By altonparrish3 on | From nanopatentsandinnovations.blogspot.com
For the first time, German and American researchers use genome analysis to demonstrate population bottlenecks Coincident with the arrival of Europeans in North and South America, there was a significant decline in the indigenous populations on both continents. This is what scientists working at Göttingen University and the University of Washington, Seattle, have demonstrated for the first time using genetic studies. By extensively analysing female genomes, the researchers succeeded...Read Full Story

Same Day Genomes | Two new sequencing machines will read a human genome in 24 hours.

By chriscar22 on | From polygenicpathways.blogspot.com
Image via Wikipedia The first sequencing of the human genome took a  decade, hundreds of collaborators and millions of dollars: Now we can do it for $1000  in a day, ushering in an era of personalised medicine and disease prediction. We still need to find cures ! pub-5799224524264318Read Full Story

Scientists Identify Genes That May Signal Long Life In Naked Mole-Rats

By altonparrish3 on | From nanopatentsandinnovations.blogspot.com
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have identified high levels of a number of genes in the naked mole-rat that may suggest why they live longer than other rodents and demonstrate resistance to age-related diseases. Credit: University of Liverpool The Liverpool team has recently generated the first whole-genome sequencing data of the naked mole-rat – a rodent that lives for more than 30 years and is resistant to cancer – to understand its longevity and resistance to disease. Scientists...Read Full Story
