Amen brother :)
All these links of enlightment posted on these board for some reason doesn't shine deep enough into the recesses of a bashers mind for them to see the big picture... I think I've been reading too many of thehopeyoukindle posts.
You sound like a person after my own heart...
mikenickels, it's exciting being in this stock isn't it? I never thought I could be part of new frontier with this kinda potential.... I mean I missed the software of the 80s play---- Internet of the 90s but hey looka hear buddy, I'm right in the middle of this one!!!
Excellent post cosmic.... I wish I could write like that. I have a sister that's a book writer...another sister is a English teacher. I went on a vaction to Montreal and couldn't speak a word of french. Our neighbor was French and spoke it to me daily in my child hood. I wonder what happened to me???
The technology DNAP is working on is unbelievable to many even in the field. Star Trek and other furturistic shows never even mentioned this type fo stuff DNAP can do now. In fact, if you remember many in the field didn't even believe DNAP or anyone else coud tell the difference between European, African, Asian, Native Americans from DNA. Now DNAP is telling the world that we can tell eye color... later hair color, skin color, and many other traits from DNA. It's still unbelievable to many.
Great answer mikenickels...
Australian Government Awards DNAPrint $40,000 Grant for Eye-Color Inferring Kits
By a GenomeWeb staff reporter
NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (GenomeWeb News) - The Australian government has awarded DNAPrint Genomics $40,000 as part of a broader grant to support the development of the company's genetic eye-color determination technology and its potential adoption by the police science center, the company said today.
Specifically, DNAPrint will use the money to produce its Retinome tests, which the university and the police science center will validate, according to a company spokesperson. The kit allows investigators to infer the eye color of the person from whom a DNA sample was obtained, he said.
Undisclosed portions of the grant, called the Australian International Science Linkages grant, went to Victoria University in Melbourne and the Victoria Police Forensic Science Services Center.

DNAPrint Teams With Victoria Police Forensic Services Center to Win Australian ISL Grant
Thursday February 10, 8:30 am ET
SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DNAPrint genomics (OTC Bulletin Board: DNAP - News; the "Company") announces today that it has teamed with Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia and the Victoria Police Forensic Science Services Centre (VFSC) to win a highly competitive 2004 Australian International Science Linkages (ISL) grant.
ADVERTISEMENT
The grant was authored by Victoria University's Dr. Swati Baindur-Hudson, with the assistance of DNAPrint scientists, to support the validation and potential integration of the Company's RETINOME(TM) test at the VFSC. The ISL program supports Australian scientists, from both the public and private sectors, to collaborate with international partners on leading-edge science and technology in order to contribute to Australia's economic, social and environmental wellbeing.
The subject of the grant, DNAPrint's RETINOME(TM) test, is a genetic assay for the inference of iris color from DNA. When used with other DNAPrint products for the inference of continental (DNAWitness(TM) 2.5) and ethno geographic ancestry (EUROWITNESS(TM) 1.0), it allows law enforcement to "paint" physical profiles from crime-scene DNA specimens and thereby to augment or substitute for unavailable or incomplete human eye-witness testimony.
The RETINOME(TM) assay functions by measuring multiple genetic variants called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), located in regions of the human genome that are involved in pigment production. The test is the first commercially available "complex" genetics test to have been developed from the knowledge provided by the recently completed human genome sequencing project. Complex genetics tests have heretofore been notoriously difficult to develop, in part because their determination is the byproduct of multiple, interacting genes and their expression is usually quantitative rather than discrete (i.e. black/white). DNAPrint's development of innovative genome screening techniques and analytical methods enabled it to launch a service version of the test last August.
Customers can learn more about DNAPrint's tests for the inference of physical characteristics from DNA through email (admin@dnaprint.com), the Company's websites (http://www.dnaprint.com, http://www.ancestrybydna.com) or telephone (941-366-3400).

Maybe that's why the newspaper ads.... we should hear shortly.
Gcbr you guys really need to give Mac a chance.... currently I haven't had a virus since 1984. I bought my last Mac in 1998 and I'm writing this note on it. I do plan to update to a iMac or eMac within the next month.
Thanks ann441.....
Bush’s ‘06 NIH Budget Boon for Some Genomic Shops, Hindrance for Others
By a GenomeWeb staff reporter
NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (GenomeWeb News) - President Bush's proposed 2006 NIH budget increase of .7 percent may spur investment in genomics consumables shops such as Cepheid, Illumina, Invitrogen, and Serologicals, but tool makers such as Applied Biosystems are expected to have "ongoing difficulties," according to a Pacific Growth Equities analyst report released today.
The "tepid" budget increase, which Pac Growth quipped is "better than a sharp stick in the eye," spurred the equity research firm to reaffirm its investment position as favorable towards companies "that address downstream development functions, particularly those companies whose product mix skews towards consumables and whose technologies may be leveraged in applied markets."
Pac Growth said that the increase, which if approved would give the NIH a $28.8 billion budget for fiscal year 2006, was in line with its .5-percent estimate. It also said that investors would "view this modest increase ... as a positive for the life sciences sector."
ABI did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.
In a separate statement, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology expressed disappointment in the budget increase, saying in a statement yesterday that the increase was "well below the rate of inflation," and that it was "concerned that the agency will be unable to sustain its current research program.
"The doubling of the NIH budget resulted in a massive amount of new information being generated in every field of biomedical science," FASEB said in its statement. "However, the constrained budget over the past few years has limited NIH's ability to build on these scientific discoveries."
FASEB also welcomed the President's proposed 2.4-percent budget increase for the National Science Foundation, but noted that it would still leave the NSF below its 2004 funding level. According to FASEB, the budget proposal includes a .9-percent increase for the biological directorate.
The NSF received $5.65 billion in funding in 2004; approximately $5.5 billion last year; and is slated to receive about $5.6 billion in funding in 2006, FASEB said. The US government's fiscal year starts on Oct. 1.
Thanks for responding ebo783 to that obvious lie.... I didn't have the energy to.
I can't get it to work Gcbr.
Great stuff..... thanks
I hope they have a pleasant surprise for us Monday or I think we are going to have a bloodbath.
That would take the drama out of it!
C'mon we love this stuff!
IMHO - THe comong week is going to be a BLOW-OUT all the questions about the (a)new hires in Fl. (b)the new Co in Germany (c)The new product will be answered in the affirmative
You got me on that one.
Please correct me if I'm wrong... my unerstanding is a Co. is selling stock they must show a consistant pattern of selling.... average it out. Dnap can't show they stop selling before good news and then dump shares on the news. I read that some where I can't remember at the moment. Anybody else remember something like this?
I just invested .. well I bought 375k @.026
Thanks for the info ann441j, we finally have someone who knows how to get a grant. This Co should have a lotta grants....
DougS I agree with you.
That's a good one frogdreaming... HAHAHAHAAHAHA
Amen ebo783.
How about this poicy shift...
http://www.genomeweb.com/articles/view.asp?Article=200522123941
Nobody here but me... don't know much about them but I did invest.
I doubt that the grant is over 50k both Co. have experience in this type of work.
http://www.senecio.com/news250204.html
Agreed Gcbr... methinks more coming.
This just the beginning... PR blitz begins!
We are working on something with eyes aren't we?
http://www.genomeweb.com/articles/view.asp?Article=20052294857
Oops "involved"...
I was envolved with a stock years ago and that's exactly what we found out about one poster..... a little kid irritating the hell out of our board!
Thanks, that's great info bendriver!
