DNA Research Getting Cheaper
FuturePundit has an excellent piece on the declining costs of DNA sequencing.
Simply put...lower costs means that there will be more genetic research done. In just two years the cost of mapping DNA Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms has dropped from 50 cents to 1 cent per. That's a real cost savings when you need to do 100,000 of them!
For genetic diseases such as Huntington's, this is just the kind of news we need to hear.
