• gwern said “prediction for commercial sequencing of important SNPs like ‘cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anaemia and other diseases’. whole genome not worthwhile” on 2011-01-01
• gwern said “er, not just SNPs but individual genes as well, I suppose. the important thing is the functionality of non-invasive pre-natal diagnoses” on 2011-01-01
• gwern said “marking this right. whole-genome still not here without spending huge $$$ but down’s blood tests now http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/513691/prenatal-dna-sequencing/ “one of the most quickly adopted tests ever”” on 2015-01-01
