The evolving, fully loaded, electronic laboratory notebook

Article Abstract:

This article examines evolution of laboratory notebook into electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) and risks the latter poses to intellectual property matters. The study further discusses efforts of the Collaborative Electronic Notebook Systems Association in creating, storing, retrieving, and sharing the ELN information in ways that conforms to all legal and technical stipulations.

From genetic data to medicine: the promising paradigm

Article Abstract:

The Human Genome Project (HGP) has made genomics a living, evolving paradigm for biotechnology and it may, through emerging genetic testing techniques and manipulation of genes, transform the practice of clinical medicine. The potential impact on drug discover/delivery is discussed. For the top 20 pharmaceutical companies to keep pace with Celera Genomics and such companies they will need to grow by 7%/yr and generate an extra $28.9 bil in sales on average from new products between early '01 and '05. They would need to launch at least 24-34 products earning $1-1.45 bil apiece in the next 5 years, up by a factor of 4-6. Self-cannibalization is the alternative to joining the genomics revolution. History and evolving goals and prospects of the HGP are summarized. .
