DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

"The validation and commercial implementation of RETINOME(TM) using this powerful approach is a historic event; RETINOME(TM) becomes the first test developed and validated for the inference of a complex genetics trait from DNA. Prior to the human genome era, complex genetics traits such as disease proclivity, drug response and particularly physical traits such as iris and hair color vexed geneticists for decades. The excitement generated by the completion of the human genome sequence draft in 2001 was based on the hope
that common human traits would finally be understood from a genetics perspective. The ultimate expression of genetic understanding is demonstrated by showing an ability to predict or infer a trait from DNA sequences, but so far this hope has remained largely unfulfilled. Prior to RETINOME(TM), no predictive genome-based test had been developed, described in the peer-reviewed literature or, most importantly, launched commercially.
