We're opening a drive/walk-thru COVID-19 testing center at Pier 30/32 today for our front-line workers so they can either return to work with the confidence that they're not infecting others, or self-quarantine and get the help they need. xitter.cf/MyrPressOffice/status/…

Excited to share that the @NIH and @Color are partnering for 5 yrs to give genetic data results & counseling to 1 million people across the US. This is by far the largest disease research initiative of its kind! Congrats to the entire @Color team 🔬🧬🙏🏽 ft.com/content/6d21ff44-c392…

Color to Use $4.6M NIH Grant to Build 'All of Us' Genetic Counseling Resource

The company will provide counseling in multiple languages and connect people to local healthcare resources so they can use the genetic information they've learned in their own care.

FDA Actions on PGx Testing Confuse Genetic Industry Players

The genetic testing community is having a tough time deciphering FDA's intentions based on its authorization of 23andMe’s PGx test and a recent safety alert.

Great session on the duty to recontact at #ashg18 and statements from ESHG, ACMG and ASHG. Ethically important, clinically significant, and hard. @Color can help solve this, in the clinical and research settings.
