Arrayit Corporation (ARYC)

[caryS4]

A small company founded in 1992 called Affymetrix used to be located 5 miles from Arrayit's HQ. They were a similar company founded by a brilliant doctor. His name is Dr. Stephen Fodor. He specialized in DNA microarrays and gene expression. In January 2016, Affymetrix was bought by Illumina for 1.3 billion dollars. Yes. It took 24 years for this company to be finally purchased.

What does this have to do with Arrayit? Well Arrayit was founded in 1999. Dr. Mark Schena has written and published 4 books about Protein Microarrays. At the time the use of protein microarrays seemed like a step-child behind DNA microarrays, but their use has grown since then and are becoming more and more important in the world of diagnostics. This year is Arrayit's 19th year in existence. Many doubt Mark's business decisions but no one can deny his credibility with the science behind Arrayit. Will you be here in Arrayit's 24th year or will you read about it being purchased later on? Up to you.
