"Here’s the problem with the rapidly decreasing costs of genome sequencing under the current funding climate: no one wants to pay for analysis. Look, I get it. You heard all of this song-and-dance about the $1,### genomes, and now you’re being told that the analysis might be just as expensive (if not more) than the sequencing! It’s the classic razor/razor blade or printer/ink scam all over again!"

The rise of next-generation sequencing has been a boon for the field of genetics. It’s fueled invaluable “big science” projects, like the Cancer Genome Atlas and the 1,000 Genomes…

A significant gene called miR137 has been discovered to be switched off in prostate cancer cells.

"With many men continuing to die from metastatic prostate cancer, there is an urgent need to develop new ways to enable the early identification of aggressive cancers when such tumours remain localised within the prostate gland when surgery is most effective."

New NHGRI grants are funding research on the best ways to combine genomic information and electronic health records.This will, researchers hope, enable them to better understand genomic basis of disease and provide tailored care to patients.http://1.usa.gov/1hRyDG1
