  1. DNA Database must be reformed, advisors tell UK government: http://bit.ly/7n01h7 (via @NatureNews)
  2. Welcoming GINA into the workplace: http://bit.ly/4w07km
  3. Interview w/ Eric Green, new Dir of NHGRI from @patsycat21 RT @NatureNews: Diagnosing the future of genomics http://ff.im/-bTzSY
  4. How DNA Testing is Changing Fatherhood: http://bit.ly/6oONu8 (NYT Magazine, HT @slominski @mikesgene)
  5. Does a genomics that does not work for some mean a genomics that will not work for all? http://bit.ly/7BEx3o
  6. Weekly Twitter Roundup: Personalized Medicine Edition http://bit.ly/2G054D
  7. Good idea from Robinson that research inst. end up w/ deCODE's data. Unfortunately, looks like it won't be Wellcome: http://bit.ly/1DOAM8
  8. Keith Robison on the demise of gene mapping companies, incl. the newly bankrupt deCODE: http://bit.ly/3lJ6qx (HT @dgmacarthur)
  9. Open letter from @23andMe and @Navigenics to Nature: http://bit.ly/1B7FUn
  10. DTC Provider @Knome Expands Sequence Service to Research Community http://bit.ly/iD7lS (via @BioITworld, @dgmacarthur)
  11. Answer to @dgmacarthur: both. they are both worse. The video would make a perfect SNL skit. The fact that it is, apparently, real, is sad.
  12. RT @dgmacarthur Oh. My. God. Not sure what is worse: the genetic testing scam, or the appalling approach to parenting: http://bit.ly/320wiD
  13. My question: in that case, what is the scalable model? How will docs be brought to understand genetic testing on their own #PersMed09
  14. Vanier: docs lean heavily on @Navigenics genetic counselors - very high-touch model, not scalable to 10k patients #PersMed09
  15. Vanier questioned as to how much MDVIP docs know about the @Navigenics testing they offer #PersMed09
  16. Comment: 59% will pay $100k for a wgs, but then balk over a $15 co-pay to see primary doc #PersMed09
  17. 10% said "never" - concerns about security cited #PersMed09 Incidentally, who is selling me a whole-genome for 15K?
  18. Poll: it currently costs 15k to have genome seq. When will you have your own genome seq? 59% say $100 #PersMed09
  19. Vanier: There is tremendous societal interest, even a "mandate" for personal genetic testing. Need to harness this #PersMed09
  20. Vanier: if you do a really good family history, do you need genetic testing? FH is notoriously imperfect, esp for non-Mendelian #PersMed09
