Guest guest Posted April 16, 2000 Report Share Posted April 16, 2000 << 2 DAYS AGO I RED AN ARTICLE IN A NEWSPAPER (HERE IN MY TOWN) ABOUT AN AMERICAN COMPANY (NOT PUBLIC) WHICH MANAGED TO READ THE WHOLE HUMAN GENOMA (PLACES OF THE GENES). DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THAT? >> The private company that says that has done that isn't really finished but is getting close. The government is doing the same thing, and is getting close. If the private company is first it plans to charge a LOT of money to anyone who wants to use their information. If the government finishes first it will not charge a lot of money for anyone to use the information. Good people are hoping that the government will win the race. Even after they have the geomes mapped they don't know what they will do with the information. It will be a long time before it is useful. They have known the whereabouts of the defective gene for CMT 1A is for years, but it only helps for testing, not for treating or prevention. This is what I remember from reading various magazine and newspaper articles. Kat in Seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
