• Personal genomics companies Navigenics and 23andMe will be at the Stanford Graduate School of Business Cool Product Expo 2008 on April 9, 2008 from noon to 6 p.m. Admission is free, no registration required.
• Lisa at DNA Direct Talk hosts Gene Genie: Yes, But What About Me?
• Congratulations to Dr. Steven Murphy on his one year anniversary at Gene Sherpas. The genetics blogosphere would certainly be duller without him around!
• Recently deceased science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke’s DNA is going to outer space. Alan Boyle at Cosmic Log says Clarke’s DNA was part of a suborbital flight last year and the capsule containing a sample of his hair will be sent to the moon on a Google Lunar X Prize flight and perhaps even further into deep space.
• Please welcome Gene Expression and Scienceblogs Gene Expression to The DNA Network!
• Genetics/Genomics is the theme for the March 19, 2008 issue of JAMA. Many of the papers focus on gene-disease associations with Special Communications articles, such as How to Interpret a Genome-wide Association Study, and Commentaries including The Genome Gets Personal–Almost and Genomic Profiles for Disease Risk: Predictive or Premature?
