Geneticist Daniel MacArthur doesn't like what newspapers are writing about a pair of upcoming presentations at the European Society of Human Genetics annual meeting.

"That hasn’t stopped the release being trumpeted by media as a blow against the personal genomics industry" and companies like 23andMe and deCODEme.
