HLCS is certainly out.
Forbes Scans the Future of Sequencing
December 30, 2010

+EmailPrinter-friendly versionRSS FeedIn its Jan. 17, 2011 issue, Forbes
magazine examines "Jonathan Rothberg's desktop decoder," and reports on the
potential for hackers to harvest sensitive data generated by "cheap gene
scans." In describing Life Technologies' Ion Personal Genome Machine, Forbes
' Matthew Herper calls it "the machine that could change your life."
Rothberg, too, is unabashedly optimistic about DNA sequencing: he expects it
will soon catch up to the $100 billion medical imaging industry. "
Sequencing is going to affect everything. …This is biology's century," he
told Forbes. In order to go from a "$4 billion business to a $100 billion
one," Rothberg says that "like radiology, there will be armies of trained
physicians using specialized machines, as gene scanning hits the medical
mainstream," as Herper puts it. Beneath Rothberg's audacious ambition — and
contemptuous responses to competitors' criticisms — "lies a serious
mission," Herper says. Rothberg's teenage daughter has a mild form of
tuberous sclerosis complex, a disease for which genomics could help
researchers deduce a cure. When it comes to sequencing technologies, "all
motivation forever has been personal … because we all want to affect the
people we love," Rothberg said. While he may've "snapped at anyone who told
him that TSC might be curable" just a few years ago, Rothberg is now "much
more optimistic," Herper says.
Meanwhile, amidst the fanfare surrounding the Ion PGM's commercial launch,
Forbes' Kashmir Hill says that "the next big privacy battle may be over who
has access to your DNA." Beyond the fact that "there is no federal law
against surreptitious DNA testing," Hill says that an individual's genetic
privacy could also be compromised by "what consumer genetics companies may
do with all the data they collect," should they elect to order testing. At
the advent of personal genomics, Hill says that several questions remain;
for example, "Should prosecutors be allowed to subpoena a company's DNA
database of thousands of people if they suspect it contains a match to a
crime suspect?" As it's "becoming surprisingly easy for someone to test your
DNA without permission," Hill contemplates whether consumers will be able
to keep their personal information out of the hands of "genome hackers."
