Now with the ability of scientists to modify bacteria and other organisms with gene sequencing to advance personalized medicine and cures, George Church and others have recommended governmental control in the area of ethics in particular. If in the hands of the wrong people, such as terrorists...

This heated debate has been kicking around for a while now and until retail pharmacies actually pushed the button with making test available for purchase of the “box” at the stores things were somewhat moving along ok for those who wanted to have their DNA sequenced. Today, things get very confused...

The field of personalized information and genomic sequencing is growing at rocket speed with new information, translations and targets being identified it seems like almost daily For a blast from the past, back in 2008 we were talking about an entire sequence costing 350k and now we may soon be...

I have featured this video before here at the Quack and it is well worth another look on how the world of personalized medicine is growing, based on the PGP (Personal Genome Project) from it’s start to where we are with this knowledge today. George Church has a great partner in his wife too...

They are not in operation yet, but wow has this promise of cheap sequencing gone down in price once more, and of course when they are open for business I would assume you could use your PayPal Account to pay. George Church has to be turning an open ear to this one for sure. Last week 14 more...

This project was run in conjunction with George Church and now it appears when we add the 14 completed there will be 24 individuals who have been sequenced with their entire genomes made public, part of the deal. Complete Genomics has been in and out of the news of late, working to bring down the...

This is a nice grouping of videos recently uploaded, first off George Church, swimming, and talking. I do like that swimming pool, but back on course, the 3 videos below talk to George Church and two of the other participants Rosalyn Gill-Garrison and Dr. John Halamka. The interviews and...

Genomics is playing a huge role in the development of drugs and medicines used to treat cancer. Being able to define and identify one marker, one gene and modify how it reacts is the real basic simple explanation as to how this works. With Mr. Collins at the helm, genomics will certainly...

This is a great video and Charlie Rose does a good job exploring many areas of personalized medicine. First up is George Church and Steve Pinkerton, who discuss what he learned about himself, information reacted to his background and his preferences with coffee. Steve Pinkerton was one of...

He certainly stands to be a popular pick with emphasis on science and further research in genomics. His leadership could certainly help keep the development and research for personalized medicine active and alive. I talk quite a bit about genomics and personalized medicine here at the blog...

This may not occur in my lifetime, but as the PGP project continues, use of data that has not been analyzed before might be reflecting what we eat someday when dining out. Business Intelligence in healthcare and science software e is doing exactly that, using and analyzing data that has already...

Xconomy had a chance to catch up with George Church with a few questions and commented favorably on the use and working towards helping patients with genomic data. He stated it’s not so much about genomics as it is personally controlled health records and speaks of the ability to share genomic...

If you are looking to qualify for an opportunity for a free sequence of your DNA, you could apply here. I have covered quite a bit about the Personal Genome Project here and information from those who have shared their experience and what it meant to them. One most notable participants in the first...

This looks like a new and different way to raise money for the X Prize Foundation. The medical side of the foundation has recently been in the news but the genomics side of the business has been established for quite a while. The related reading below gives some of the history. A few...

I am curious to see if we are still going to be afforded the $5000.00 price tag that has been announced, I hope so. BD From January 2009 This is perhaps one of the most awaited announcements with Complete Genomics, who is basically slated to use their technology to “wholesale” sequencing...
