Tuesday, September 09, 2003One skeptic, Elaine Mardis, a genetics expert at Washington University in St. Louis, worries that too many labs are releasing 'data by press release' rather than subjecting the information to scientific review. She isn't convinced that scientists are solving problems such as how to read longer DNA snippets or in developing precise instruments to perceive fluorescent light. 'Honestly, it's going to take us 10 or 15 years to get there,' she said of the $1,000 genome. 'The non-scientific public is hearing this and saying that sounds really great, and people must be at that goal because they're talking about it. That's totally not the case. This is the plan for the future, and the future is not now.' posted by Sydney on 9/09/2003 08:17:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
