What Is DNA Perspectives? A Unique, Objective Rating System
DNA Perspectives will be a collaborative site developed by a wide range of industry experts to objectively evaluate the clinical validity and utility of genetic markers as well as commercially available genetic tests.
Unlike other genetics resources currently available on the Web, DNA Perspectives is designed specifically to assist consumers in evaluating genetic discoveries and commercially available genetic tests with the use of our exclusive rating system. A DNA Perspectives wiki with the latest and most relevant genetics information will be created and maintained by invited genetics experts. DNA Perspectives will be available to the public for free. It is based on the principles of the open source movement: transparency, permeable access, and collaboration. In addition, a special forum will be open to consumers for their comments and personal ratings of genetic tests.
Who Will Benefit From DNA Perspectives
DNA Perspectives focuses on consumers who can use DNA Perspectives and the exclusive rating system to determine the state of research on their genetic area of interest. However, almost anyone interested in genetics will find DNA Perspectives invaluable, including genetics experts, healthcare stakeholders, and industry thought leaders.
