“If the human genome was quote unquote mapped in 2000, I think there's kind of one still needs to make the Google Maps of that, and then one after that we would need to make the ways, ah, of the human genome, where you actually have feedback, where you know something is correct, not correct, from, ah, Patient in a real-time way.”

Kaganovich: Genetics companies build clinical DNA tests using unmanaged public FTPs
“Every genetics company, every hospital, they design and implement tests To figure out what disease you have, or don't have, or whether you should have a child, or what drug to take based on your DNA. They use this data that's collected by academics and deposit…”
Kaganovich: Most people derive no actionable information from genome sequencing
“For most people, there's no information that they glean yet from it.”
Kaganovich: Human genome sequencing costs plummeted from $3 billion to $1,000
“This thing can sequence your genome for a thousand dollars, and it, 10 years ago, cost, like, three billion, and was really hard.”
Kaganovich: Public academic genomic databases lack quality control and version tracking
“It's great data for the first, kind of, chapter one of genetics, but the problem is that there's no quality control. You don't know what, which records are right, which records aren't relevant. There's no feedback for this worked for me, this didn't work for m…”
