Hmm. "16% of Americans" have done a #consumerDNA test?
The industry itself claims under 10% & @Ancestry & @23andme are laying off staff 'cos of slow-down.
Survey suggests gross consumer ignorance: at 16%, via #FamilialMatching, everyone'd be identifiable https://t.co/v7k7Dhzf8a
Doctors have used the #CRISPR gene-editing technique to treat this woman's sickle cell disease (https://t.co/M1dmHsFtxB). To learn more about the science + ethics of gene editing, watch the livestream of our recent #genomics panel here: https://t.co/YKk4S7kEad #consumerDNA
Dr. Sandra Soo-Jin Lee, bioethicist at @Columbia and recent panelist at our #consumerDNA event, spoke with @NPR about the lack of diversity in genetic data resources (https://t.co/6xvwbUFiLW). Rewatch our #consumerDNA livestream here: https://t.co/YKk4S7kEad
“We have powers that earlier human beings never dreamed of, but that also means we have choices,” said Mildred Solomon, who moderated last week's "Genomics Enters the Clinic" event. Read more highlights from the event here: https://t.co/NMPJc6ID7t @hastingscenter #consumerDNA
Genomics enters the clinic, DTCgenetic testing is booming; now what? Watch the livestream of our event with @NYASciences and Aspen Brain Institute, #ConsumerDNA @bioethicsjosie @pennprof https://t.co/fxop7QKpaW
Thanks for a lively discussion last night at the @NYASciences with @MBrickmanPhd, @pennprof, @bioethicsjosie, @shsternberg, Christopher Mason, Sandra Soo-Jin Lee, Mildred Solomon, & Glenda Greenwald. #consumerDNA
Thank you to the @hastingscenter and Aspen Brain Institute for making the #consumerDNA panel possible, and thank you to panelists @bioethicsjosie @mason_lab @pennprof @shsternberg, Sandra Soo-Jin Lee and moderator Mildred Solomon for a lively discussion!
Sam Sternberg (@shsternberg): The biggest impacts of #CRISPR so far have been in the laboratory. Any researcher wanting to study biology in an organism can use CRISPR, which gives power to their work and has revolutionized how research is conducted. #consumerDNA @NYASciences
.@pennprof: newborn genome sequencing is completely unsustainable from a cost perspective. #consumerDNA @NYASciences
.@bioethicsjosie advocates against compulsory newborn genome sequencing for reasons including: a lack of treatment options for many of the results, the removal of individual choice to learn about adult-onset diseases, drain on public health budgets, etc. @NYASciences #consumerDNA
.@shsternberg says initially gene therapy was seen as a holy grail but there’s still only 4-5 commercialized gene therapies. Now, goal is to fix damaged gene—not just replace; We can do that in a petri dish but we are far from doing it safely in patients #consumerDNA @NYASciences
President of @hastingscenter, Dr. Millie Solomon, provides a wonderful welcome to “Genomics Enters the Clinic: What Should Savvy Consumers Know?,” presented with the Aspen Brain Institute and @NYASciences. Watch the livestream here: https://t.co/3ocDd2DyQF #consumerDNA
