[QUOTE]Originally posted by ehya: [QB] Market Pulse Breaking News Alert for Tuesday, March 7, 2006: DNAG -- DNAPrint Genomics Scientist to Co-Chair Discussion on "Genetic Testing" at the American Association of Physical Anthropologists Annual Meeting! By Market Wire Last Update: 3/7/2006 8:50:02 AM Data provided by ATLANTA, GA,, Mar 07, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Market Pulse News Alert for this AM, Stocks to Watch are: DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (DNAG), Ivanhoe Energy Inc. (IVAN), Finisar Corp. (FNSR) and Quest Communications International Inc. (Q). Investors need to be watching DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (DNAG) this AM! DNAPrint is a developer of genomics-based products and services focused on drug development, pharmacogenomic diagnostic tests, forensics technology, and consumer genetic tests. DNAPrint's family of products for the law enforcement forensics and consumer markets include DNAWitness(TM), RETINOME(TM) (a predictive test for inferring eye color from a DNA sample), ANCESTRYbyDNA(TM), and EURO-DNA(TM). DNAPrint's management sees exciting growth opportunity in these markets to introduce and sell their novel products and services. DNAG has had several excellent news announcements out lately and one again before today's opening bell announcing that their scientist Dr. Ripan Malhi will co-chair a discussion on genetic testing at the American Association of Physical Anthropologists annual meeting! Investors should be watching this one closely! DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (DNAG) today announced that Dr. Ripan Malhi will co-chair a symposium of 14 scientists and business persons for a discussion of ethical and sociopolitical issues surrounding consumer genetic testing as part of the 75th annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists in Anchorage, Alaska. Dr. Malhi is the Senior Research Director of Trace Genetics, Inc., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. The four-day meeting, which begins Wednesday, March 8, features several symposiums and poster discussions. This symposium focuses on the interpretation of genetic test results and the public's understanding of race, ethnicity, human genetic variation and evolutionary history of the human species. "The purpose of this symposium is to have a rigorous discussion of lineage based and whole genome tests exploring the anthropological, biomedical, and societal applications of genetic ancestry testing," explains Dr. Malhi. "It should be a lively discussion. We have purposefully brought together competent spokespersons with diverse perspectives. This will be an opportunity for opinions to be expressed and challenged and, ideally, allow the group as a whole to resolve issues in a direct and productive manner." The symposium brings together scientists and experts from academia and private enterprise in an effort to build a consensus about how the public might best use genetic testing to understand their own ancestry within a valid scientific framework. Recent television specials and news publications have spurred public interest in genetic testing, resulting in the recent purchase by consumers of more than 150,000 genetic ancestry tests. The popularity of these genetic tests reflects a widespread interest by the public in using DNA technology to learn about family ancestry. Many anthropologists are concerned that the interpretation of the results of these tests may not give a complete and accurate picture of an individual's personal genetic history. "Until recently the only way genealogists could determine their ancestors' origins was through records and oral history that traced ancestors as far back as the documentation existed. Now, genetic tests can reveal remote anthropological ancestry and suggest proportions of various ethnic and geographical origins such as Native American ancestry, in a given person's heritage. Genealogists should use the information for the test's intended purpose as one piece of a large and complex puzzle and avoid prejudice based on what they hoped they would find," commented Dr. Tony Frudakis, Chief Scientific Officer for DNAPrint Genomics. The symposium is a featured event of the annual meeting, and is scheduled to be the cover article of the Saturday, March 11, edition of New Scientist magazine. [/QB][/QUOTE]
