Article Abstract:

Identigene is a company that offers DNA testing, for example in cases of disputed paternity. The company is expanding rapidly and advertising through billboards. There is some concern that genetic tests could be marketed prior to their having been properly developed, and that information could be given to people who are unprepared to receive it. Funding from commercial enterprises can help with research, so there are advances made from the commercialization of these processes.
