You Win Some, You Lose Some

TruGenetics, which in June was offering free genetic scans to its first 10,000 customers, has not been able to secure funding. John Fossella at Genes to Brains to Mental Health and Bertalan Meskó at Science Roll both post the letter they've received from TruGenetics. "Despite our best efforts and contrary to our expectations, our funding sources did not come through and to date, we have been unable to secure funding for launching our genome scanning program," it says.

Complete Genomics has had better luck. The company announced it raised $45 million in its most recent funding round, according to Xconomy.
