Warning: This has little directly to do with R, although R and related tools (e.g. sweave and other reproducible research tools) have a natural role to play.
The IOM report: http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2012/Evolution-of-Translational-Omics.aspx that arose out of the Duke Univ. genomics testing scandal has been released. My thanks to Keith Baggerly for forwarding this. I believe that many R users in the medical research community will find this interesting, and I hope I do not venture too far out of line by passing on the link to readers of this list. It **will** have an important impact on so-called Personalized Health Care (which I guess affects all of us), and open source analytical (statistical) methodology is a central issue. For those interested, try the summary first.
