    As per the webpage:" Who owns your genes? You? Big Pharma? Or should it be for the public good? At present the balance is with the company that patents the genetic material. Is this right? Not according to an Ottawa hospital."

    "Michael Snyder has taken "know thyself" to the next level-and helped heal thyself. Over a 14-month period, the molecular geneticist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, analyzed his blood 20 different times to pluck out a wide variety of biochemical data depicting the status of his body's immune system, metabolism, and gene activity." - From Science Magazine

    Scientists unearthed skeletons from the 14th century, isolated DNA samples and sequenced the entire genome of the 500 year-old bacteria, Yrsinia pestis. The genome of the ancient Yserinia informs us about the mode of pathology and how *we* have evolved, both culturally, and in terms of our immune systems. Very cool science news!
