The coming mass market for genetic sequencing
The impact of a mass market is unclear. Genetic testing kits are now all over the Internet, with mass market labs like Quest Diagnostics already in the market.
-
How researchers can get genetic data and maintain privacy
Data is not transformed. This is not an encryption code. Instead data that might lead to an identification of anyone is generalized inside a computer to render the identification impossible.
-
Will genetic cures proceed without genetic patents?
Assuming Myriad's appeal of the ruling fails, the question is what impact this might have on genomic research.

Keep your genes to yourself after this weekend
Basically the new law puts your family history, including your genetic make-up, under requirements similar to those of HIPAA. This may require changes to Electronic Health Record (EHR) software,...

Can IBM's DNA transistor someday take genetic sequencing mainstream?
IBM Research on Tuesday unveiled plans to create a "DNA transistor" that would result in personalized genetic testing for about $100 to $1,000. If successful, IBM could take genetic testing...
-
Limits urged on genetic testing
Britain's House of Lords has advised strict limits on genetic testing, including an increase in their perceived risk, in order to limit costs from consumers getting their own tests and waving the...

How genetic testing will show us the money in 2009
Rather than targeting the consumer market deCODE is looking at corporations who want to protect key employees, and insurers who want to cut specific risks down the road. Who pays matters.

DeCODE turning genes into medical practice
We're just talking about doing a better job of risk prediction, putting people at higher risk under closer study

Genetically modified tomatoes to fight cancer?
Despite advertising campaigns, we don't eat the five fruits and vegetables we're supposed to do to protect us from obesity and many diseases. This is why European researchers have decided to...

Will genetic study of lung cancer yield fruit?
One of the more intriguing findings is that patients who are smokers suffer nearly 10 times more genetic changes than non-smokers. This may make the cancers of non-smokers easier to treat, which...

Repairing genetic mutations with lasers?
German researchers at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU) think they've proved that genetic information can be controlled by light. The group studied the interaction between the...

Genetic non-discrimination bill will finally become law
The bill essentially makes it illegal to deny people jobs or other benefits based on the results of a genetic test. Without this protection predictive health, in which care is customized based on...

Biodiesel venture combines refining, genetic engineering
Montana may be too dry and hostile to make ideal farmland. But a new joint venture wants to turn it into a haven for biodiesel production.

Today's Debate: Are genetic tests a threat?
Without rules, genetic tests are leaking out and people are being hurt. With rules, a mass market in genetic data would likely result. Would that be worse?

Genetic research creates dwarf trees
Researchers at the Oregon State University (OSU) have used genetic manipulations to create midget trees. In fact, they can control tree height. For example, 'natural' poplars can reach 150 feet or...

The genetic secrets of the black widow spider
Biologists at the University of California at Riverside (UCR) have identified the genes for two key proteins in the 'dragline silk' of the black widow spider. This silk, one of the seven different...
-
The genetic programming future
I used to to write short stories for awhile after college, and big surprise, they were all of the "science fiction" variety. In one of them, I opened with a bearded man on the cover of Time...

IBM supports genetic antidiscrimination bill
Company backs legislation that would make it illegal to discriminate against someone based on his genetic code.
