Will people pay to have their genome sequenced or analyzed? How will this data be kept confidential? If the customer's data reveals a possibility of a severe disease (or even a death sentence such as Huntington's disease), how will that person receive competent genetic counseling? What safeguards are there that the DNA analysis is done to the highest standards? There are many. many open questions. And I haven't even touched on the business issues! Please keep us informed. Thank you. Exactly what 23andme is going to do is not clear, and that raises many questions. Will people pay to have their genome sequenced or analyzed? How will this data be kept confidential?

We've been hosting SNPedia, a wiki discussing gene variations. It's bound to be the case that as more and more people acquire their own genotypes (or sequences), whether through 23andMe or other sources, there will be many opportunities for both individuals and investors.
