 from the patient's blood sample, conduct SNP testing and analyze the data, all under one roof. Through the agreement between GEN ID and Advanomics, the SNP tests will be faster and less expensive to administer, which in essence makes the SNP test more affordable to a wider population.

Advanomics labs are able to perform SNP analysis and to submit SNP results to the National Institute of Health ("NIH "Not invented here." See digispeak.

") database, which is the world's most comprehensive database of single nucleotide polymorphisms, in record time.

The present SNP database at the NIH is comprised of six general classes of candidate SNP identification methods:
1.  Direct DNA Sequencing;
2.  Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP);
3.  Single-Stranded Conformational Polymorphism (SSCP);
4.  Computational Analysis;
5.  DNA Hybridization (often employing microarray technology); and
6.  Denaturing High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC).


GEN ID is preparing to launch its proprietary software, which specializes in the expedited SNP analysis. The results of SNP analysis provide physicians with a more enlightened choice of drugs. The GEN ID software will not only be the first of its kind to provide a complete breakdown of the genetic DNA, but will also enable doctors to more accurately predict the effectiveness of drugs and different drug protocol treatments for individual patients. GEN ID's software will be a milestone in the field of Pharmacogenomics Analysis.

"We are looking forward to the beginning of our new SNP testing program using our software. Dr. Steve Slilaty and his Advanomics team, with their collective expertise in genetic research, will help GEN ID provide the customized approach to medical treatment that is vastly needed in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area.  and abroad," Hector Veron, president and chief executive officer of GEN ID, stated. "GEN ID will be able to perform a complete battery of SNP tests for as little as $700. Through our software and working agreement with Advanomics, we will reach one of the company's milestones immediately. That is providing SNP data and analysis in a relatively fast, economical, and competent manner, under the supervision of highly respected geneticists This is a list of people who have made notable contributions to genetics. The growth and development of genetics represents the work of many people. This list of geneticists is therefore by no means complete. Contributors of great distinction to genetics are not yet on the list. . Conducting DNA analyses through the GEN ID system will take the guesswork out of prescribing difficult medical protocol for patients. The program's application will result in saving lives and millions of dollars in unnecessary treatment and potential liability issues."

Veron continued: "The pharmaceutical industry will be in a position to develop higher-quality drugs, in a shorter period of time, at a fraction of the cost. The greatest recognizable benefit of our proprietary software will be felt by the public at large. Medications will be far more customized than ever before, and the cost of health care could drop significantly."

About GEN ID:

GEN ID is in the business of providing SNP testing. SNP stands for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism. An SNP is a small genetic change, or variation, that can occur within a person's DNA sequence DNA sequence Genetics The precise order of bases–A,T,G,C–in a segment of DNA, gene, chromosome, or an entire genome. See Base pair, Base sequence analysis, Chromosome, Gene, Genome. . This analysis will provide information on genetic predisposition genetic predisposition Molecular medicine The tendency to suffer from certain genetic diseases–eg, Huntington's disease, or inherit certain skills–eg, musical talent  to various diseases, such as different forms of cancer, cardiovascular abnormalities, dermatological dermatological, dermatologic

 diseases, etc. SNP data also allows predicting pharmacodynamic pattern pertinent to individual drugs for individual patients.
