ONE way of trying to make money out of the new genomic knowledge has been to offer what has come to be known as “personal genomics”. The results, to put it charitably,have been mixed, and for good reason. The price point is wrong, observes Douglas Fambrough of Oxford Bioscience Partners, a venture capital firm based in Boston. What you learn from looking at your genome is not yet worth the price you have to pay. Eithern the price must come down or the value of the product must rise. Both may happen when the latest generation of DNA sequencers are more widely deployed, but at the moment most personalsequencing companies use gene chips to give a SNP profile, rather than offering a complete sequence.
