Well, I guess that was in interesing article, maybe even worth the 75 cents...but I did not learn too much. Did find out that SNP's are also called "snip", as in snip maps.
The whole thing about big pharma setting this up because they fear biotech getting too much control, well they can sell that crap somewhere else--leave it to the Europeans to be leading the charge. I say fight it out and let the best company hoard all the data it can find...and besides, it is not as if these licensing fees have been outrageous, seems to me bioinformatics companies have been selling their data cheap up til now.
Was surprised and a bit disappointed Curagen did not get mentioned, but then part of the reason I did not renew my subscription to the WSJ is that they always seem to list the big players, and I'm sick to death of the big cap mentality.
For what it's worth, here is an old post of mine, the only thing that has changed since I wrote it is that I passed on GLGC and did buy that CRGN.
Message 7253765 my chit chat might not be too interesting...but there are two urls in there from a Dr. Goodhybe that are a good read.
Any thoughts appreciated. Especially if anybody has a guess as to why crgn held up okay today, while it looks as though some institutional investor decided to bail out of glgc. |
