About PolITiGenomics
PolITiGenomics is a blog by David Dooling about the confluence (and sometimes incongruence) of several of the most important topics surrounding the future of human health: genomics, information technology, and politics. Entries will cover topics including genomics research, next-generation sequencing technologies, informatics, computer hardware and software, free software, and politics.
