Hi YxY, Most of my longterm picks are due to the technology side as opposed to the financial. DNA chips are interesting in that once the genome is complete & the deleterious mutations are known, then one can do a rapid mass screening using these chips. eg. If you have a tumor you can then get a biopsy and run a screen with different mutations to find out which type of mutation you have. This would then allow the Dr. to find out which treatment works best for that mutation (eg. Reovirus specifically replicates in Ras mutated cells, so if you had this mutation, then this may be a viable option...if you had a mutation in p53, then this probably wouldnot be a viable option). The only problem I see is that currently their system is expensive, and until they can bring the price down, sales may be slow...but it is just a matter of time...AFFX is recognized as the leader>imo<, although I think I've read that NGEN's system is faster. INCY also has a chip, as well as a couple of other companies. BWDIK? I read that there is also a protein chip out there, but I don't know who makes it...and if it is a publically traded company. Best of Luck, Where'd He Go?
