[Size=4]Scientific networking for experts[/size]

Welcome to E3, a scientific social network for epigenetics experts. We hope that you will use E3 as a communication platform to aid progress in the frontier of epigenetics. Keep up with the latest epigenetics news, techniques, organizations, conferences and seminars pertinent to your work. Use the community to set up a profile, share your work and publications, offer your expertise and identify potential collaborations. Exchange your thoughts and ideas in the E3 forum. Read and comment about epigenetic topics in the E3 blog. You’ll be able to leverage the epigenetics expert community to accelerate your research like never before.

They don’t have much traffic. We could use that to our advantage. If 6 or 7 of us can go to the boards and discuss PFS, maybe we can get their attention.

I’m in. We should organise a time to go on there and put our stories forward.

There’s a article in the March issue (not online yet) of Popular Science about a new machine that is coming out that will decode an individuals genome in 2 hours for 1000 dollars. They have an example in the article of some twins who had a genetic defect. They were able to decode their genome and compare it to their brothers, parents and grandparents to identify the defect. Hopefully that is what they are doing in Italy with our DNA. We are a perfect control group for a epigenetic study like this. Pray for a miracle.

Signed up and posted. Gonna need some more people to get taken seriously. Please sign up and post. epiexperts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20

@ Badluck, yes there are a number of genomic advances that should be hitting the market soon.

Here are some links to the latest advances in genomics
technologyreview.com/biomedicine/39458/ - 1000 genone sequencer hitting the market soon

medicalxpress.com/news/2012-02-exome-sequencing-metabolic-disease.html - This article talks about how whole exome sequencing is being used to discover the roots of strange metabolic diseases.

medicalxpress.com/news/2012-02-gene-variations-disease.html - cataloging loss of function variants.

I think a epigenetic study of say 40 - 50 PFS sufferers could provide a ton of insight. With the introduction of new sequencing technology hopefully this could be done for less than $1000 a person.

On the brightside of this very dark situation, genetic sequencing and technology IS advancing rapidly. If there is a genetic component to PFS we should be able to figure it out within a few years.

So no one else signed up. Figures. Its easier to rant and rave about candida. I feel like I’m all alone with this shit.

#8

I’ll hit these guys up with a post when I get a chance today. I did check out their site eariler, just seemed somewhat empty to me.

#9

Hopefully, we can use that to our advantage.

#10

Ok I posted a brief reply to your thread on their site. Somewhat disheartening to see that its been viewed quite a few times with no replies besides my own.

Gotta sleep abit now, I’ll get back to work looking into media stuff later today. If there is one good thing about being out of work cause of this condition it is I can deadicate more time to trying to bring attention to it.

SA

i posted a question on the PFS thread earlier today on the epigenetics experts website (epiexperts.com)
Nobody has replied yet.

Is there any point me posting again , perhaps with some details on how PFS has affected me, such as persistent testosterone deficiency problems;
pain in testicles; insomnia; digestion issues; urinary issues; strain on relationship with my partner etc?

Mention the PFS Foundatio and that they are looking for epigenetic researchers and might possibiy fund research into the epigentics of PFS.
