A scientific breakthrough
From Bloomberg:
Now if they can just find a way to implant the THC producing gene in humans. That would be worth a couple of Nobel Prizes.Kevin McKernan was leading Life Technologies Corp. (LIFE)’s Ion Torrent DNA-sequencing research when a new business opportunity caught his eye: marijuana.
A year later, McKernan, 38, has quit his job, formed a startup run from his house in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and announced today that the company had sequenced the entire genome of the cannabis plant.
The project, which cost about $200,000, may lead to the development of treatments for cancer, pain and inflammatory diseases, he said.
