If you want progress give your genome to your local uni so they can pass it on to researchers, not to a comic book badguy profit seeking pharma giant like GSK who will totally sue the shit out of anyone else who uses it without their go-ahead.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoI want results, not someone who has to churn out papers to meet their academic requirements. Go where the resources are.

- toomuchtodo 7y agoSee my comment above where I contributed my DNA to Harvard’s genome project. I approve all requests to use it in partner studies. Not sure what else you’re expecting, but my opinion is that your expectations are unrealistic. If you don’t like the law, fix the law. If you have evidence a drug company or data provider violated the law, report them to your attorney general.
- chr1 7y agoWhich university wants a genome for research? I would gladly give it, but don't know anyone who'd want my genome.
