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...

Helicos has created an open access website for sharing Helicos data sets and bioinformatics software tools, called the HeliSphere(TM) Technology Center. We are seeing a lot of new developments as genomic sequencing continues to grow at a rapid pace. The new open source software is intended for...

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...

This article is very interesting in the fact that the potential is now in the works to bring things back from the dead! It cites using mice that were frozen for 16 years and guess what, they are back. The baseball legend Ted Williams referenced here who was frozen, well, who knows in some...

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...

The tweezers grab a piece of target DNA and release it on-demand using a controlled series of hydrogen bonding and pH changes. The process of getting the tweezers to grasp and release. This is the first one that can grasp and release, as there have been other developments in this area...

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...

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...

A couple competitors are driving down the cost of sequencing and Helicos may feel the pressure as time passes to perhaps look in to their current pricing structure, as the race is on. This is a great video which explains the process and I wish this had been available back at the time when I interviewed...

Who Pooped? Inquiring minds want to know! I write quite a bit about personalized medicine so it’s time for a break in discussion and talk about something much more important – personalized poop. Yes, DNA has gone to the dogs! PooPrints will get the job done. If you are...

New program to educate pharmacists on pharmacogenomics. The efforts are going forward to help the pharmacists also explain to the patients how it works and what the information has to offer. The new group of graduates will be the first group of pharmacists to be information equipped. ...

The gene is called an enhanced green fluorescence protein that allows scientists to see inside the cat and how thing work. It is completely harmless to the cat. Wild and interesting technology with genomics R and D. BD Named Mr. Green Genes, he look likes a six-month-old cat but...

With the downturn in the economy and recent failures of VC invested money in some biotech areas, this might not be a bad idea. Genomics is here to stay but there doesn’t seem to be enough money yet as it is still basically a science and too soon to get too many real concrete processes yet to work...

The cost sometime next year though may go down with Complete Genomics and their upcoming offer of $5000.00 to sequence a complete individual DNA. There are some that don’t share the same interest in view of privacy issues, but in my small opinion, privacy is pretty much only existing in the shadows...
