How, where and why Alphabet and google get involved, invest, collaborate with genetic programs.
<blockquote>"''the intimate, inner and profound character - what is inner and secret; the close and profound character (of a bond); the intimacy of a person, his intimate, private life; the pleasure, comfort of a place where one feels completely at home, isolated from the outside world.''" Paul Robert, Le Grand Robert de la Langue Française, 1994</blockquote> The human genome saved from speculation - By awarding the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine to Sydney Brenner, H. Robert Horvitz and John Sulston on December 10 for their discoveries on the genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death, the Stockholm Nobel Academy also rewards three of the key players in the formidable scientific endeavour that will lead to the release of the entire human genome sequence into the public domain in 2003. An outcome that was not self-evident, in the face of the appetites aroused by genetic patents." source : https://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/2002/12/SULSTON/9777 Biological monitoring is the means by which biological science is used to track, monitor, analyze and transform bodies into data. It is the extraction of DNA and microbes from the skin, nails, hair and body fluids. It is the analysis of the identifying parts of the body and the individual such as the face, voice, fingerprints and irises. It is the monitoring of life itself by body heat, pulse, sweating, bacterial flora and specific involuntary movement. It is the vulnerability that we are all confronted with every day by the very situation of being human, simply by having a body. When genetic databases cover 2 percent of the population, nearly anyone can be identified. <blockquote>"''Even if you’ve never taken a DNA test, a distant relative’s could reveal your identity''" Source : [https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2018/10/11/even-if-youve-never-taken-dna-test-distant-relatives-could-reveal-your-identity/?noredirect=on&utm_term= .c022f1d93857 Whashington Post -Carolyn Y.

Google & Stanford Launching Clinical Genomics Service
<blockquote>''"Over more than a decade we’ve known Google as a search engine, but Google is not just a search engine which answers your queries, it’s more than that. Google offers various products that include YouTube, Google+, Gmail, Google Maps and much more. Google has already covered all the sectors of Information Technology, and now Google is growing beyond that. There are so many projects that are running under the hood of Google like the Self-driving car, Project Loon, and Energy kite. Google’s mission is to organize the world of Information, and now that will include our DNA information too"''</blockquote>

The Cognitive Genomics Lab at BGI is using this talk to kick off the drive for US participants in our intelligence GWAS. More information at www.cog-genomics.org, including automatic qualifying standards for the study, which are set just above +3 SD. Participants received free genotyping and help with interpreting the results. (The functional part of the site should be live after August 18.)
