DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

[dgplexus]

When estimating the potential revenue, I include the debt and expenses, obviously, weighed against the potential income from all of DNAPrint Genomics' planned products and spinoffs. It adds up to quite a lot, especially since some of these are generally considered to be extremely high growth areas (DNA Personalized Medicine, AKA Theranostics, probable routine use of DNA-based forensics like DNAWitness in the future, etc.) Plus, never underestimate people's curiosity about where it is they come from. To say that AncestryByDNA and similar products could become a "super fad," at some point, is an understatement. Still, I think the medicinal applications may generate more income, over the long term. DNA, how important is it in the future? I won't rehash old cliches, but you get the idea.

The discovery of much greater genetic variation between people (including members of different races,) has recently greatly increased the importance of genetic testing, because there is vastly more to discover in the individual's genome, now, than was previously believed. (Now, all living people are estimated to be roughly 90% genetically identical. That's a whole lot different from 99.99% genetically identical, which has been the dogma for quite some time, now.) Genetic testing is now vastly more important, for medical reasons alone.
