TruGenetics Gives Up August 22, 2009

I subscribed to the newsletter of TruGenetics to see whether they can change the personalized genetics market. And yesterday, I received this e-mail:

Dear Registrant,

Thank you for participating in TruGenetics’ pre-registration Beta.

We wanted to inform you that despite our best efforts and contrary to our expectations, our funding sources did not come through and to date, we have been unable to secure funding for launching our genome scanning program. Given the current economic climate, we are also unsure how long the funding process will take.

We understand that some of you may want to seek genome scanning services from other companies. Therefore, we are offering you the option to remove your information from our database. Using your username and password, you can log on to www.trugenetics.com and delete your record from our database at your convenience.

We will continue our fundraising efforts and we will inform you of any progress toward our goal.

Sincerely,
TruGenetics Management Team

Hard time for these companies. DecodeMe is also struggling.
