FinchLab is the name of the software product to be used. We are all overwhelmed with data and sequencing is a huge amount of data to be interpreted, so the combination of the software along with the genetic machine produced by Illumina stand to make a good combination for not only speed, but also...

There are big companies investing in genomics as well, but as time progresses we could see a combination of efforts and some melt downs occur. Cerner healthcare just recently made the news by adding genomics capabilities to their lab software. Complete Genomics has a little different...

It keeps getting smarter out there, and this looks to be something that I hope moves along very quickly, so instead of waiting days or weeks for blood tests, this could be done at bedside at the hospital, or for that matter even at the office perhaps down the road. BD When you're sick, getting...

They have established a coding vocabulary for genetic test results called CBO, or Clinical Bioinformatics Ontology . Genetic test results are associated with the concepts from the CBO, whereas a traditional observation like a pulse or blood pressure might be associated with a SNOMED (Systematized...

Start up companies and biotech engineering is making a big calling as nobody wants or likes the formulas that crippled Wall Street any longer. There’s a lot of work in R and D though where formulas and scientific study are needed to cure diseases, that is for sure. Hopefully all our well educated...

New abbreviation here to become acquainted with (PGx) which is pharmacogenics, and one more move in the direction of personalized medicine by big Pharma as the marketing of blockbuster drugs slowly evolves to a new business model with genomic data input becoming a part of the process to bring new drugs...

I have posted a couple resources here too from past articles, Navigenics has from the beginning focused their DNA and genomic sequencing in the area of physicians versus consumer retail selling methods. This is an important area as some knowledge is certainly better than none and integrating the...

The American Medical Association administration recommends that genetic testing be carried out under the personal supervision of a qualified health care professional, but the lines get a bit gray in between what is actual clinical credible data and what is still science. Education of both the physicians...

10 genetic mutations were found in the patient's tumor and virtually every cell in the tumor sample had nine of the mutations. “What's striking about the new research is that the scientists were able to sift through the 3 billion pairs of chemical bases that make up the human genome to...

According to the study, statins are lowering the PSA levels, but the concern is whether or not this could be hiding or clouding the issues and cancer could be potentially missed in the diagnosis as they are not sure if this is lowering the test numbers or if it is in fact helping in the prevention of...

Your DNA will be tested for GRK3 and two of its genetic variations and yes you receive a “spit kit” for your deposit. The site also states the test is only available for those individuals showing symptoms, so if you are not in that category, the test is not for you. I would also think that...

Not available here in the US yet, but this is a genomic based test that is cancer specific. Nobody likes having a biopsy done by any means and this appears to be working in that direction, in other words more information available to perhaps avoid biopsies that are perhaps not required. BD...

Yes there is a genomics based test for this now, male and female. Inquiring minds want to know. If the answer comes back yes, then get a hold of some Propecia ©. If you have the gene variant, you have approximately a 70% chance of going bald, and the same in reverse if you do not have...

This is a genomics blood test that takes about 6 weeks to run and get the results. The test will identify the specific gene mutation and help with treatment plans and add more input on whether or not family members might be as risk as well. BD NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Clinical Data...
