In my second big piece of news for the day, I'm pleased to announce that Genetic Future will shortly be moving to a the brand new Wired Science Blogs network.
While the network was announced today there will be a brief hiatus before I get started in my new home, due to the time constraints imposed by my first big announcement today. However once the move is complete I'll be back to delivering the same slices of genetics and personal genomics goodness that you've been getting here at ScienceBlogs (or at least, that you were getting before my recent exposure to the mind-shattering effects…
dgmacarthur | January 22, 2010Blogging on Genetic Future will be pretty much non-existent for the next three weeks.
dgmacarthur | April 1, 2009So I'm trying this Twitter thing all the cool kids are talking about - seems like a handy way to share interesting genetics-related stuff that doesn't quite warrant a full blog post. If you are so inclined you can follow me here. That is all.
 Subscribe to Genetic Future.
dgmacarthur | March 6, 2009I doubt anyone's noticed, but I recently rearranged my "Blogs I Read" menu to give appropriate prominence to three fellow genomics bloggers: Anthony Fejes, Dan Koboldt and David Dooling. If you're interested in the cutting edge of modern genomics you should definitely be reading these guys; all three are researchers working on hard problems in major genomics facilities while walking the blogging tightrope.
This week Dan advocated genetic testing of all cancers, Anthony had two thought-provoking posts on personalised medicine (here and here), and David ran a critical eye over pharma giant…

A very belated note to say that I'll be hosting the 42nd Gene Genie blog carnival here this weekend. Gene Genie showcases the best of the blogosphere on any topic pertaining to genes and gene-related diseases.
Due to the late announcement I'll be accepting submissions up until Saturday night (whatever your time zone). Please submit your favourite gene-related posts by emailing them to me directly.
dgmacarthur | January 11, 2009Some of you may have noticed that the RSS feed for the DNA Network has been down for quite some time. Hsien-Hsien Li from Eye on DNA has come up with a work-around.

dgmacarthur | December 3, 2008Chris over at A Free Man has done a great job putting together the latest issue of genetics blog carnival Mendel's Garden - check it out.
dgmacarthur | September 10, 2008Update: Please RSVP on Facebook if possible.
Tim Lambert from Deltoid has organised a ScienceBlogs millionth comment party in Sydney. I'll be there as well (albeit probably looking a little frazzled and well in need of a beer, as I move to the UK on the following Monday!).
Here's what Sydney readers need to know:
Why? Because ScienceBlogs is rapidly approaching one million comments (check the the top right of your screen for the count-up to M-Day)
When: 7pm, Wednesday 17th September
Where: The Attic Bar of the Arthouse Hotel (out the back door and up the stairs on the outside of the hotel), a…
sb admin | September 2, 2008Welcome to the new look Genetic Future, now hosted on ScienceBlogs.
In around five years, a complete genome sequence will be readily affordable for most citizens of wealthy industrialised nations - even those of us on a researcher's salary. At the same time we will have access to vast amounts of data about the effects of individual genetic variants on human variation and disease risk. Storing, processing and using genetic data to make effective health decisions will become an immense challenge both to healthcare providers and to individual consumers.
The revolution has already begun: right…
