Congratulations: You Have Nearly As Many Genes As Trick Parasite
$10 Million Prize for Fast Human Genome DecodingX-Prize Foundation is offering $10m for the first private team that can decode 100 human genomes in 10 days. It is said to be the largest medical prize in history. Rapid genetic sequencing along with stem cell therapeutics are science's next great frontiers. Rapid genetic sequencing is expected to usher in a new era of personalised medicine, allowing doctors to determine patients' susceptibility to illness and the genetic links to diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. NSFW: Song On George Bush’s Lies & Clinton’s Cigar ProblemI have to warn you that the song is not suitable for minors, (some) republicans and prudes.
