My Biotech Life

I’m not one to include myself among the most brilliant minds of our time but I’m going to follow Genetics and Health’s cue and list my genetic predictions:

• Epigenetics will become the next big thing (as commented by Rebecca Taylor)
• Genomes will be sequenced for under $1000, motivated by the 10 million dollar race.
• Aging will become further understood and processes will be slowed down. But this will still take a few more decades (talk about predictions!!!).
• Custom made drugs and custom made tissue engineering will also have their share of the spotlight

I could predict a couple other minor and more particular things but the tendency seems to be pushing towards these fields. Mostly.

• It’s been 2 great years…
• The Science Blog meme
• Portuguese DNA database gets green light
• Portuguese government wants DNA Database
• Trendy DNA and Genes at Google Labs
