Notas do Editor
- First to tell you why DTC genetic testing is particularly a matter for social investigation Projections for personalized medicine and the decreasing cost of sequencing technology. What could this mean for companies that are currently offering comprehensive SNP analysis? I refer to an article in the NYTimes:
- Based in Silicon Valley. Founded April 2006: Linda Avey and Anne Wojcicki Interesting note: wife of Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google Not a coincidence that Google is a primary investor
- Backed by venture capital group, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers: Amazon, Sun, Genentech, Intuit Navigenics was launched: Nov. 2007 by David Agus and Dietrich Stephan Tagline: There is DNA, the raw molecular material, and there is the additional intellectual property that is part of genetic tests which is necessary to produce genetic knowledge. The you in the statement to some extent undermines the additional players involved in the development of genetic tests and subequent genetic knowledge.
