OK,<\/span><\/p>

Tally Time. It is time again to see whether my predictions for 2009 were right. Or if I was way off the mark.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
The Highly Likelies first<\/span><\/div>
1. Francis Collins will become the Director of the NIH........You Betcha I pegged that one.<\/span><\/div>
2. We will see a pharmacogenetics lawsuit......Well, still haven't seen that yet, despite the FDA label changes<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Batting 500, next up <\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Long Shots<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
1. X Prize winner: PacBio, ok, maybe I was a year early on this one<\/span><\/div>
2. Oprah's gene scan bougus. Guess what? <\/span>It Was!<\/span><\/a><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Still at 500, who's next<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Ridiculous<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Ok, these are what they say they are. Ridiculous. I don't think I can be held to the same standards for these swing for the fences.....<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
1. Mark Cuban Buys the rights to the 23andME database. Ok, I was off. DeCode tried to steal it and Google keeps dumping money into it......Both just as crazy as if Cuban would buy it......<\/span><\/div>
Maybe we call that a fly out?<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
2. Next-Next-Next gen Sequencing will debut......you have heard of nanopore right? Is this Next-Next Gen? Or Next-Next-Next Gen? Hmmm. Foul Ball!<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
3. The last one is so silly I don't think it was meant to be called...........The US fracturing into territories and fighting against the world.......Not quite yet.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
So on to this year's doozies!<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Highly Likely<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
1. Another DTC failure......yes. I won't say which one.<\/span><\/div>
2. One of the DTC Genomics companies will get into clinical care. They will set up shops. It may be a newcomer or an old dog. But it will happen.<\/span><\/div>
3. We will have data on PGx testing with Plavix. And it will support the use.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Possible<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
1. Francis and Kari will start the Population Genome Study in the US<\/span><\/div>
2. The XPrize will be won by Complete Genomics.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Ridiculous<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
1. Again, Mark Cuban will Buy Sergey's share of 23andMe's database<\/span><\/div>
2. Myriad will lose the first round of hearings re: their gene patents......<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>
The Sherpa Says: If Kansas went bye bye last year, this year we will have to \"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!\"<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>
