Personalized Genetics: The last words in 2007 December 30, 2007

I promise these will be the last words about personalized genetics thiy year. The “hypest” topic of 2007 was individualized medicine, no doubt about it.

When I first read the announcement of 23andMe, I wanted to use their service, but as a European, it’s still impossible. So here are others who have recently recieved their results.

• Personal Genome Results from 23andMe and deCODEme (Eye on DNA)

• Everything you need to last you two lifetimes (Free Association)

Have you been thinking about the medical breakthroughs of the year? Well, Science described some of them:

• It’s All About Me: Personal Genomics
• Human Genetic Variation

Individualized medicine has serious scientific aspects:

• Personalized molecular medicine may revolutionize treatment of genetic disorders
• Implications of Personalized Medicine for Research

And let’s finish the year with reviews of 2 services:

• myDNAchoice – Are Your Surfing Habits the Result of Your Genome? (The Genetic Genealogist):

• Welcome to Helix Health. (The Gene Sherpa)
