I'm not "strangling" anyone, I'm saying that offering a secret and forbidden service is not "DIY Telomere Length Test", the subject of this thread.
Though, if the relationship between patents and innovation interests you, by all means look at the research on the subject. It doesn't support the assertion that patents are good for innovation, at all.
And now I'm off topic, too. I'd like to know more about telomere length determination protocols: anyone got a good one we can use, DIY?

The definition of marketing is "cosmetic cheating" Patent laws are ok till they get the expenses of the originator and some benefits to him.But strangling others in the name of patents will crush innovation.
V.RajagopalanSent from my iPadYes: an open forum on DIY-bio. Marketing secret, patented services is, by definition, the exact opposite of that. It's off topic.
I'm not censoring anyone here, just asking that we resume exploring reliable, open protocols for telomere length determination.vrgopal <vrgopal@gmail.com> wrote:This is an open forum ...no need to hold back ....Many corporate researchers benefit from open fora.But for extracting money and profits they avoid discussions.Pl bringforth to opan fora all tech useful to humanity.
V.RajagopalanSent from my iPadSo, when can we stop discussing some patented corporate approach and resume the diy discussion suggested in the title? I, for one, don't hang around here to be marketed patented products; this is DIYbio.Alex Hoekstra <alex.gmu@gmail.com> wrote:Our technology constitutes a high-throughput adaptation of the TRF approach to telomere measurement. We'd be happy to discuss our tech in greater detail in the near future but we are currently filing additional IP protections and cannot provide more details on the analysis tech at this time. Our analyses are done on DNA from saliva samples, which allows for simple, at-home collections and ambient shipping both domestic and internationally. More details about TeloMe - including an outline of
the difference between our Basic and Premium tests - are available on our website (http://www.telome.com/order/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=7).

I promise you that there's nothing remotely scam-like about TeloMe. We've been in business since 2010, but have only recently begun offering our saliva-based telomere testing.What are your concerns? Hopefully I can address them, if you'll let me.
