Zusammenfassung:Sometime soon, in some location on Planet Earth, an assortment of companies, research institutions, entrepreneurs, and scientists will cluster together in an industrial ecosystem. Their goal: to exploit the rapid discoveries about the human genome--the DNA template that drives the development of a person's biological functions. This new Silicon Valley will give rise to radical new ways of diagnosing and treating disease. With skillful management and luck, it will dominate the field of genomics for many years, bringing jobs and prestige to the area that hosts it. But where will this ecosystem arise?
