Suggestions to fix Genomic Medicine in Ireland: 1. State funds national genome project. 2. State acquires Genomics Medicine Ireland / Genuity sequencing facility for national genome project. 3. State retrieves genomic data of people whose genomes have already been sequenced.

Lessons learnt from Genomics Medicine Ireland: 1. Don't give your DNA / genome to a company who can sell it on. 2. Don't invest taxpayers' money in a company that is going to up sticks at the first opportunity. 3. Invest in a public national genome project. But we knew this...

This was always going to happen (again). What a waste of money and so frustrating!! Why did State put €66m into a private DNA firm instead of a national genomics initiative? irishtimes.com/business/tech… via @IrishTimes

Why did State put €66m into a private DNA firm instead of national genomics research?

Those who invested Government funds have questions to answer after Genuity Science sale

A wealth of discovery built on the Human Genome Project — by the numbers

Nature - A new analysis traces the story of the draft genome’s impact on genomics since 2001, linking its effects on publications, drug approvals and understanding of disease.
