Government Wants to Sequence DNA of All Infants Born in US

Gov Wants to Sequence DNA of All Infants Born in US - Susanne Posel | Susanne Posel: "The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has begun an initiative to discover the viability of sequencing American infant’s DNA through the “heel stick” blood drawn screening conducted on newborns in hospitals to determine the propensity toward life-threatening diseases.



This scheme will cost $25 million over 5 years to understand each individual genetic code in lieu of having DNA routinely mapped and stored in a medical record."
