The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Recent progress in the development of molecular diagnostics in medicine has been rapid and the hope has been expressed by some people that it will soon be possible to have a detailed 'genetic readout' to assist in the diagnosis of treatment of a variety of diseases. However, such an outcome may be neither achievable nor desirable when viewed from the perspective of suppliers of healthcare.
