There seems to be an unspoken rule in Silicon Valley that says you don't have kids or politics.

I downloaded my 23andMe data the other day, and have been perusing my SNPs on and off. This has left me feeling that: 1) I'm genetically OK, and 2) SNPs are not very useful in isolation. Combinations are probably far more useful.

I think that this is a place where massive computing power and sequence analysis should be coupled with every clinical trial. In fact, I think you could make a pretty kick ass biotech company that just took results and DNA from completed trials, and looked for subgroup effects. As this could revive IP, companies would probably pay for you to take a look.

I have a feeling that Klobuchar might surprise in Iowa. Not first or second, but maybe third.
