Yahoo Japan participates in genetic testing, individualized treatment approaches life
Release date: 2014-09-02 With the US 23andMe company launching the 99-dollar personal gene sequencing project to detonate the market at the end of 2012, the genetic database of European and American races has become more and more perfect, and the Asian-American genetic database has yet to be established. Recently, we noticed that Yahoo! Japan will officially launch the individual health database "HealthData Lab" project in October this year. The project will build a Japanese genetic database in the form of "network recruitment at home to take out testing outsourcing". Japan currently has no clear regulation of the genetic testing industry (gene chip and DNA sequencing), and Yahoo Japan can launch such a project as an Internet company. At the same time, Yahoo Japan does not have the ability to diagnose genes. The testing process of this project will be entrusted to the genetic testing company GeneQuest initiated by the University of Tokyo. The main purpose of the project is to provide health consultation services to individuals through genetic analysis, and to integrate gene big data to support government medical and health policies and drug development. At present, the project has started the second phase of a total of 5,000 free recruitment activities, the cost of Yahoo Japan is fully paid, and the initial data is expected to reach 10,000 copies when the project is officially launched in October. Volunteers provide their own saliva samples and then use gene chips to detect target site genes for specific diseases. In order to protect personal privacy, Yahoo Japan will establish an independent third-party ethics review committee to supervise the use of volunteer information to protect the personal privacy of volunteers. We are firmly optimistic about the future development of the domestic genetic diagnosis industry. The trend of the Japanese gene diagnosis industry has provided new possibilities for the country. As the first company in East Asia to conduct large-scale personal genetic sequencing, Yahoo Japan's move will not only promote the rapid development of the Japanese gene sequencing industry, but its influence will also radiate to East Asian countries. In the domestic future, Internet companies may also participate in the construction of a health management platform centered on individualized diagnosis and treatment, which will become a huge potential driving force in the genetic diagnosis industry. Daan Gene, Huada Gene and Berry and Kang will become potential. The beneficiary. Project Description Related background In Japan, there were 738 institutions providing gene sequencing services in 2013, providing gene sequencing services for various physical, disease, and even beauty and education. There are currently no clear industry standards. Most Japanese gene sequencing services rely on outsourcing, and service fees vary depending on the project and method of analysis. At present, the mainstream analytical methods are DNA chip method and real-time PCR method, and the cost range is between 600-6,000 yuan. The judgment of disease risk depends on the paper data and clinical experience adopted by various institutions, and there are large subjective differences.
