HolGenTech, Inc. YouTubes YouTube "Shop for Your Life - HolGenTech at PMWC 2010 Discover your smartphone as a Personal Genome Assistant (PGA) that makes all the optimal choices for your health and well being every time you shop for your genome. Designed to automate better choices for consumers as they shop for food, nutrients, cosmetics and more, the HolGen Technologies PGA leverages data from genomic tests, health database services, and user preferences to equip consumers with a practical tool to optimize health by maximizing prevention. - The PGA uses a generic smartphone with its bar code reader to capture product ingredients and respond with personalized screens of recommendation advice and ratings that display on a scale of -10 to +10. Results are integrated from various sources, such as genome data from DTC companies like 23andMe and/or Navigenics, and health database services like Google Health and/or Microsoft HealthVault, and full DNA sequencing from Complete Genomics and/or Pacific Biosciences, everything possibly overrided by the personal preferences or decisions. The PGA user can automatically and readily identify the personalized prevention efficacy of any product under consideration, as long as the product has a bar code for ingredients. The PGA enables consumers to make quick, yet thorough, product comparisons that take into consideration any disease, syndrome, or health condition they wish to improve. - The HolGenTech PGA illustrates the practical application of the genome, emphasizing how an individual uses a tool for personal genome analysis to pursue all they can do to affect their genome. Prevention; Putting "Health Care ahead of Sick Care" (Francis Collins). Prevention hinges on optimizing epigenomic pathways through foods, food additives, vitamins, cosmetics, chemicals, and environments to best fit or fix ones genome. - Founded by Dr. Andras Pellionisz, HolGenTech brings a novel and proprietary computing architecture for HoloGenomics, where the PGA represents a mobile component for easiest consumer market penetration. The architecture utilizes high performance parallel computing (HPC) for genome analysis, making the results of traditional and proprietary fractal structural variants practically usable for consumers who want to automate their choices for better living. - HolGenTech uniquely leverages existing HPC hardware by introducing software based on routine and custom algorithms, applying a science breakthrough of a fractal approach, to enable consumers to affect and manage the genome and realize: "Your Genome is not Your Destiny". - As HolGenTech enables access to and utility of our personal genomes, we can experience personalized everything from healthcare to food to clothing to housing and environmental choices, even to friends....everything suited to our personal genome. At PMWC2010, HolGenTech deploys a computing architecture for a new health paradigm and imperative: Ask what you can do for your genome! -Contact: Andras Pellionisz Credit to: Ms. Isabel Matick, enacting "Boonsri Dickinson" DISCLAIMER: This video is the sole work of HolGenTech, references to names or trademarks suggest business or personal opportunities only.

"Technology breakthroughs are making DNA sequencing faster and cheaper than ever. In its top ten list of 2008 scientific breakthroughs that broke through with the potential for lasting impact, Science magazine included technology that has blown the doors off genome sequencing. In Nature magazines list of the top news stories of 2008, "Personal genomics goes mainstream" came in second. With the cost of DNA sequencing plummeting, the emergence of "molecular sequencing" platforms has forever changed the field of genetics. A new paradigm appears on the horizon. Personal genome information will be used not just for health maintenance, disease diagnosis, and treatment, but will also be the foundation for lifestyle applications from shopping for food, to buying cosmetics, to assessing ones environment and making choices about fabrics, places - even friends. This panel of Silicon Valley players and innovators of new business models examines the dynamic business and investment opportunities as well as the risks, global competition, regulatory and legal challenges, new individual contributor roles, and leading alliances emerging from Silicon Valley and beyond. Silicon Valley changed the world as the driving force in the development of computers and the internet. Could we play a similar role in advancing a genome-based economy?"

In 18 months full human genome sequences will be available under $100 - and in minutes. The $5,000 full human genome was announced to come in 9 months. Is "Big IT" ready for the avalanche of data, to be obtained and processed e.g. while the patient is still on the operating table, to be diagnosed, and how the genomics glitch, that caused a benign or malign tumor, could be compensated for? Algorithmic approaches are needed to better understand genome regulation, even for the simple reason to deploy most effective data retrieval, data storage and computational means, via both parallel hardware and software, but more importantly for opening entirely new perspectives. In the 100+ year old Genomics, for over half a Century had us to resign to the fatalistic gloom that we are stuck with any glitches in our inherited genome. Is it true that genomic glitches doom one to "incurable" hereditary diseases? No longer. Genomics now considers the DNA-RNA-Protein chain not as a thermodynamically closed system, where entropy increases, but as an open system that can be interfered with. There is theoretically sound hope that you are not stuck with your genomic glitches. After half a Century of sticking to two mistaken axioms of Genomics, the paradigm of recursive genome function must quickly make up for lost time for those (potentially) inflicted with formerly "incurable" diseases. "The Genome baby is left on the doorsteps of Information Technology". Doctors sent those inflicted with fleece for "debugging". Debugging genome information (by Genome Computers) would be much harder without understanding the algorithms that our natural genome computing operates with.
