Scientific MOOCs follower. Author of Airpocalypse, a techno-medical thriller (Out Summer 2017)
Welcome to the digital era of biology (and to this modest blog I started in early 2005).
To cure many diseases, like cancer or cystic fibrosis, we will need to target genes (mutations, for ex.), not organs! I am convinced that the future of replacement medicine (organ transplant) is genomics (the science of the human genome). In 10 years we will be replacing (modifying) genes; not organs!
Anticipating the $100 genome era and the P4™ medicine revolution. P4 Medicine (Predictive, Personalized, Preventive, & Participatory): Catalyzing a Revolution from Reactive to Proactive Medicine.
Upcoming books: Airpocalypse, a medical thriller (action taking place in Beijing) 2017; Jesus CRISPR Superstar, a sci-fi -- French title: La Passion du CRISPR (2018).
I love Genomics. Would you rather donate your data, or... your vital organs? Imagine all the people sharing their data...

"Using a recently developed genome-editing technique called CRISPR, a
Chinese team has successfully altered two target genes
in cynomolgus monkeys, paving the way for the
development of monkey models that mimic human diseases. This is the
first evidence
that CRISPR can work in primates and represents a
big advance over previous successes in genetically modifying monkeys,
in
which genes were inserted randomly into the
genome. Only two of the three target genes were modified, and not all
cells carry
the same modification, indicating more work
needs to be done to perfect the timing of the modification. Beyond its
significance
for biomedical research, the new work raises the
possibility that CRISPR will one day be used to change the genetic
makeup
of human embryos."
Family hopes genome test will help cure girl's mystery disease
New LA Times article on my daughter Lilly's genome sequencing journey Thanks @ScrippsSTSI @EricTopol http://t.co/mzWHbibRvu #genomics
— Steve Grossman (@stevenjgrossman) January 20, 2014
Very impressed by this story."When scientists first assembled a draft of the human genome in 2000, they hoped sequencing technology could revolutionize medicine by revealing the genetic underpinnings of all sorts of ailments. Since then, the cost of reading the 3 billion DNA letter pairs that make up a person's genetic blueprint has plummeted from hundreds of millions of dollars to about $1,000. It used to take months; now, technicians can get a read in about a day."
Reading Lilly's fiction right now... Understanding various gene mutations happening in same disease in as much patients as we can: this is how we'll find crucial help curing the disease. Same disease patients will have a lot of genome data sharing work to do... This is the way genome sequencing works when it comes to helping modeling new drugs... If the drug does not target enough gene mutations, the disease will come back...

"The HiSeq X Ten should give us the ability to analyze complete genomic information from huge sample populations,' said Eric Lander, founding director of the Broad Institute and one of the world’s leading geneticists, in a statement. 'Over the next few years, we have an opportunity to learn as much about the genetics of human disease as we have learned in the history of medicine.'"
The race for the $1,000 genome has been won.
"Illumina’s supercomputing machine, which is a combination of ten machines working together and is called the HiSeq X Ten, is available to purchase at a starting price of $10 million. This is too expensive for most labs, but three of these machines have been acquired by Macrogen, The Harvard-MIT Broad Institute in Cambridge, and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia."

Un coût divisé par 100.000 :
"La raison d'une telle avancée ? Depuis les années 2005, le séquençage a fait un bond. Une rupture s'est produite. 'Le décryptage s'effectue de façon massivement parallèle sur des puces. Roche, puis Illumina et Life Technologies ont été les pionniers de ces nouvelles méthodes', rappelle le directeur adjoint de l'Institut de génomique. Des brins d'un génome, cassé en morceaux de 100 à 150 bases, se collent sur la puce, où sont fixées des amorces, puis sont lues par une caméra. La performance s'améliore quand la densité de la puce et la vitesse de la lecture optique augmentent. Puis les brins sont assemblés et reconstitués en 23 chromosomes, par calcul informatique, 'par comparaison au génome humain de référence, dont la connaissance s'est nettement affinée depuis le premier génome complet publié en 2003', ajoute Pierre Le Ber. Des années 1970 jusqu'en 2005, la technique enzymatique sélective, élaborée par le Britannique Frederick Sanger, double prix Nobel de chimie, était moins rapide.
'Pour la recherche, c'est, bien sûr, très intéressant. Mais une telle performance est encore plus essentielle pour la génomique clinique afin, par exemple, d'identifier la nature des altérations génétiques qui seraient à l'origine d'un cancer donné, en décryptant l'ADN du malade et celui de sa tumeur. Ce qui peut aider, dans certains cas, le médecin à mieux cibler le traitement', précise le directeur adjoint de l'Institut de génomique."

“@AllSeq: That $1000 genome you've been hearing about? It's going to cost you $72M http://t.co/PgKYf7qAkF”
:-D
— Portable Genomics (@portablegenomic) January 22, 2014
@nitinc1117 @allseq on the other hand, even $100M are a good deal for 72k full genomes attached to clinical data. Right?
— Portable Genomics (@portablegenomic) January 22, 2014
The $1k genome won't mean much if we don't improve our ability to convert research progress into better medicine. http://t.co/tmD7zEEDyo

Is there no profit in keeping us well?
Carla N. Berg: There is an increasing cohort of leadership level voices working hard for constructive change in health and medicine-- a prime example being Eric Topol MD of Scripps who has used his several platforms to spread conversations involving the 'creative destruction' of medicine itself (look for his book about same on Amazon) or follow the hashstream #cdom on Twitter and note who contributes.
And for fans of change at a more localized level, see the increasing cohort of articulate docs at places like KevinMD, The HealthCare Blog (THCB), 33 Charts, Wing of Zock, and of course, our own site at participatorymedicine.org.
You are reminding me I need to make a list and share it! But do take heart -- the 'movement' for constructive change in healthcare really is gaining steam ;->
