New Tool For Interpretation of Genomic Information

Genomic Analysis, The Office Edition by Anne Eisenberg.  The New York Times.  February 2, 2013.

With the cost of sequencing a person's genome is falling, the problem of analysis of genomic data becomes more acute.  A new product by Knome, co-founded by genetic pioneer Dr. George Upchurch,   has developed a product the size of a file cabinet for $125,000.  While the expertise required to read the results of even this device may exceed that of "your neighborhood doctor," progress is being made toward that goal.
