STAT+: ??Genomics is racing toward a $100 genome. Are we ready for it?

STAT News

As the cost of DNA sequencing plummets, we’re fast approaching a point when decoding a human genome could cost $100 — about as much as the average American’s weekly grocery store run. Health systems are preparing to test programs that could lead to the use of whole-genome screening in millions of newborns.

Opinion: Where are the guidelines for the production of animals with intentional genomic alterations?

STAT News

 Salmon that reach market size in 18 months instead of 30. But with the advent of genetic engineering, genes encoding favorable traits in one species (say, that hornless cow) could be spliced into the genomes of other animals. Pigs that are less likely to induce allergic reactions in humans. Read the rest…
