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.

DNA Variation And Disease: One Step to Understanding the Link
Scientists Expand Catalog of Human Genetic Variation by Eryn Brown. Los Angeles Times. October 31, 2012.
By sequencing the DNA of 1092 people from 14 populations, scientist of the 1000 Genomes Project have identified over 38 million DNA variants. These variants could be key to understanding the genetic correlates of disease. In the future the variants could provide a first level check to determine a possible genetic cause to the disease.
