The Genome Registry Brings Scientific Discovery Home
Online, September 11, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The Genome Registry's Chief Science Officer, Dr. James Enderby Bidlack, announced today that over 100 mapped genomes are currently available for pseudonym assignment.
The Genome Registry capitalizes on genome sequencing and mapping by offering the ability to name a gene or chromosome from any currently mapped organism for yourself, a loved one, or anyone. Hal Stevens, a business entrepreneuer, and Dr. Jim Bidlack, a Biology Professor, put this idea together to get people excited about genomics.
According to Dr. Bidlack, "many genomes have been sequenced, but the mapping of genes on chromosomes takes more time to complete. Once a genome has been completely sequenced and mapped, The Genome Registry makes it available for pseudonym assignment."
The Genome Registry offers a unique gift opportunity for those who are particularly interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education and scientific research. Providing the gift of a gene pseudonym provides a way to get others involved with scientific discovery - with a creative, romantic, intelligent, or sensitive twist. And The Genome Registry is fully committed to enhancing the scientific value of their product by donating a portion of every customer registration to a scientific research or wildlife preservation nonprofit organization.
Registration with The Genome Registry (at http://thegenomeregistry.com/) provides a letter of congratulations, acknowledging the individual's contribution to science education and research; a personalized chart containing a detailed graphical representation of the customer's genomic component; and, a personalized full color parchment certificate with the genomic component name, data description and date of issuance.
