There are lots of issues with journals, but at least in the life sciences, they are essential to the peer review process. Good editors are well worth it. The problem, IMO, is more with the system that makes publication the sole currency

Medicine is still very reductionist and that is not going to change for a while, even though we know that isn't the right way to go about doing it. The thing is that I am not sure that we will necessarily be able to fix the impact of "bad

I have downloaded. More comments to follow, but a quick question. Who is your target audience? Based on the design and how the reports look, seems to be consumer focussed?

I haven't downloaded it yet, because it's not clear to me who the target audience is, where the data comes from, etc (is it whole genome data, 23andme data?). Also, why not a web app, especially since (as others have noted, the screenshots

There's DE Shaw, the Hedge Fund and DE Shaw Research. Different focus for each entity.

Iddo Friedberg has a nice review of the paper as well http://bytesizebio.net/index.php/2010/05/29/a-cure-for-ebola... The key for me is this part "this is the first time that siRNA treatment has been shown to work in primate models of a h

And how do you decide what job? I've changed jobs and fields so often, there is no way you can prepare for that. Yet all the education I got has been instrumental in being able to adjust, evolve and assimilate new knowledge.

Mike Cariaso, who does SNPedia ( http://www.snpedia.com/index.php/SNPedia ), and knows what he is talking about, says that 23andme offers the best SNP/$ ratio of the DTC providers

by bbgm 16y ago
I'd argue that this is what makes 23andme interesting. Without that capability, it's a toy for rich people. First of all, today, this is not full genome information, just your genotype. Second, if we want good molecular medicine, informat

Very correct. This is just the second time that RNAi has been tried in humans [1] and delivery was always the big problem. When Merck acquired SIRNA, much of the discussion was around what were the options beyond ocular delivery and while

There's more than enough Indians whose command of English is masterful. Many of us end up reading advanced prose as kids, and even in technical institutes spend a lot of our time engaged in literature-related extracurricular activities.
