Bio-era has just released a pretty interesting, in-depth study of the current and future impacts of sequencing and synthesis technologies and the emergence of synthetic genomics on key sectors of the US economy.
Here’s the link to the press release: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/2/prweb503903.htm. You can also access a podcast about the report release there.
Also, here’s the link http://www.bio-era.net/research/GenomePurchaseForm.html to the form you fill out to get either or both printed copies of the report, and/or a link to allow you to download the entire .pdf file (32 MB) for free. The link to the .pdf file will be emailed to you upon submitting the form, and is free except for the inconvenience of filling out the form. Printed copies of the report are only available for purchase (sorry, but color printing is really expensive…). Personally, I recommend getting the printed version if you can afford it, since it’s such a large file.
