What say you buy yourself, or do not want -

There are people who follow my steps in a very acute and effectively accomplished spinning very fine to know a lot of my movements as I do.

A good friend, employer industry and CEO of a company based in Los Angeles, knows a little comment on my personal blog a few days ago, when he spoke in that sector I think you have to be in 2009, my interest in gene is more than theoretical and that something is cooking. "Perhaps that's why this week to find that two domains have been sold in generic Spanish; testgeneticos.com and genetica.es but have not yet been transferred and the buyer is public my name will come instinctively to the head.

I said this morning he laughs by email, I would say that throughout the day, and in fact is what I am doing now.

In Internet there are many entrepreneurs interested in genetics, not long ago I read Xavier and Paul about it and there are two large American companies that have been launched with one of the most interesting of recent years, the decoding of the human genome. These companies are 23 and Me, and Decodeme.

The first of these companies are founded by the wife of Sergey Brin of Google, and the Business Angels who invested so interesting as Martin Varsavsky, which obviously has opened many doors especially at the economic level. The second is a pioneer who had taken the lead in this field and an impressive work in Iceland was called to lead the sector, but - mighty gentleman is Don Money in recent months is being completely overshadowed by the power 23 and Me, in particular the effect of lowering stroke of the genetic test of the psychological barrier of the nearly $ 1.000US to hit $ 399US, price VERY VERY CLOSE to actual operating cost. But then, when almost andalusia cost, where is the business?

The deal is that this company is the "guardian" of your genetic profile and you can charge a monthly or annual fee for access to the comparability of future discoveries related to the genetic profile that you have. Possible to improve and extend your quality of life as they appear each year hundreds of tracks and genetic codes, and you teach healthy habits that you are interested as opposed to the generic advice of preventive medicine. You'll know every day more genetic discoveries that come every day that have real risks.

It is an exciting business. Not mean the medicine without having a genetic profile, what we call genetic identity card.

After decoding the genome of years, from Celera Genetics (which should be the world this company!) And the donation of that knowledge to the world by the United States Government has given a medical structure. As of now we can prevent disease, whether we are especially prone to some of them (which we will avoid them at times and sometimes not), disease and decode genetic profiles that are particularly sensitive to these ....

Ie, the arrival of a new real preventive medicine. Within 10 years, the civilized world can not be conceived without this genetic identity card, possibly in the first world countries around the world carry from birth.

Also this new landscape is a huge moral component to be legislating and limiting. Is it ethical to advertise one patient, who quite possibly throughout their lives that do not generate a cancer cure?. Do not be altered since then psychologically and reduce their quality of life and ability?
The European Union, the U.S. and even in Spain, are already the first studies to narrow the field, and legislate accordingly.

Where is Spain this genetic map global company?. First we talked about 2 American, but also in Europe there are 2 companies that are struggling to thrive.

Spain along with Greece is the only country in the Faculty of Medicine is not genetic. This material is curiously aimed at the Faculty of Biology. That makes us share the dubious honor with the Greeks that the doctors in our country, if not for personal concern, just genetics.

But if I can forward that there is a very interesting gene in Spain, one of the 2 initiatives at this level in Europe, and both live up to the 2 large U.S. companies, the soon to talk more and that is really exciting. A company with as much or more experience than Decodeme that could soon leave the lab to become an offline Internet startup with a strong international focus and goal in the Spanish, Portuguese and Latin and highly innovative products and much more specific than the above companies.

And back at the beginning of the post, if, indeed, and I bought genética.es testgeneticos.com, and in this world, nothing is casual and the DNA, everything is connected.

More soon.
