23andMe Pulls Off Massive Crowdsourced Depression Study

•by Antonio Regalado •August 1, 2016

A scientific expedition into the DNA of more than 450,000 customers of gene-testing company 23andMe has uncovered the first major trove of genetic clues to the cause of depression.

The study, the largest of its kind, detected 15 regions of human genome linked to a higher risk of struggling with serious depression.

The state council order contains 46 articles restricting the use and storage of any materials from China that contain human genomes, including organs and cells, as well as data derived from those sources.

Article 21 states that foreign organizations that use the materials must abide by Chinese law and work in cooperation with Chinese institutes.

Article 24 says that all data and patents derived from such a collaboration must be shared with the Chinese institution.

Pentagon Leaders Tell Troops to Stop Using Mail-In Genealogy DNA Kits

Dec. 27, 2019

U.S. troops are being advised to steer clear of popular genetic-testing kits over what Pentagon leaders say is a growing concern that the personal information could be exploited or tracked.

Testing performed by DTC companies may or may not provide reliable, accurate results.

“Increased concern in the scientific community that outside parties are exploiting the use of the genetic data for questionable purposes."

“Mass surveillance and the ability to track individuals without their authorization or awareness."

Shanghai, China-based WuXi Biologics says it has increased efforts in enabling the development of multiple neutralizing antibodies for the current outbreak of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), centered in Wuhan, China.

Compared with the traditional timeline of 12 to 18 months, all studies from DNA to IND could hopefully be completed in 4-5 months while maintaining high quality. This way we can provide effective and timely interventions for the disease caused by 2019-nCoV.
