alo_h...Sorry for the lack of response. Sometimes I just read the material that is posted here without commenting. Please don't take that silence as a lack of appreciation. More a lack of time.

In regards to your find, though, this is excellent. It seems to me to go hand in hand with this:

NANOGEN, DNAPRINT TO DEVELOP DNA TESTS

Oct. 31, 2002 – DNAPrint genomics Inc. said it will develop DNA chip-based tests with Nanogen Inc. The deal calls for Florida-based DNAPrint to make genomics tests using Nanogen's NanoChip Molecular Biology Workstation. DNAPrint said California-based Nanogen's platform is well suited for this type of work, which involves the simultaneous reading of large sets of genetic markers or positions per sample, according to a news release.

If performance tests are successful, the two firms will jointly market the new tests for clinical and field application, with Nanogen receiving a royalty on each NanoChip-based test sold. The pact provides DNAPrint a non-exclusive license to perform certain pharmacogenomics, recreational and forensics genomics testing services, the release said.

"Field" application...interesting. Yet another collaborative arrangement organized in such a way as the collaborator seems to be providing the majority of the funding for the project. And it appears as if the NIJ, through Nanogen, is providing the funds for the "performance tests".

BTW, thanks as well to Arch for the link to the smalltimes article.
