For now, though, I have to say that if I’d just plunked down $985 for deCODEme, I’d be royally pissed, both at the waste of money and at the lack of information, flexibility and user-friendly functionality here. I’m kind of astonished that deCODEme thinks this version of its service resembles a finished product in any way, shape or form.I haven't had time to play around much with this feature on deCODEme yet - it's available here - but what I have seen so far has not exactly been spectacular. Partly this is due to some problems with the interface, which I think will probably be fixed up as deCODEme starts to listen to customer complaints, but the main problem is with the data: there just aren't enough well-validated genetic associations out there.
What we're seeing right now are the very earliest days of a gold-rush of genetic information, and it won't be long before the number of solid associations starts climbing exponentially. Trust me - in five year's time people will be complaining about too much data.
