Health 2.0 taking place in Paris (April 5-7) is going to be one of the most exciting events this year and I will present Webicina.com in action. Also I have the honour to be a regional ambassador to Hungary for Health 2.0 Europe. So Denise Silber, health 2.0 expert and co-organizer of the event, asked me some questions and published the interview on her blog.

The web is exceptionally rich in genetics-related content so it was time to publish the Genetics and Web 2.0 collection on Webicina.com as well as PeRSSonalized Genetics that lets you keep track of the latest news and resources in the field of genetics in a personalized way. A few of the many great examples how genetics is covered online.

GenomeWeb provides news and announcements in several sub-fields of genetics.



DNA Network is the biggest aggregator of genetics blogs.



SNPedia is a unique collection of single nucleotide polymorphisms.



The American Society of Human Genetics manages a Youtube channel.

There is a Personal Genome Assistant for smartphones:

More examples and resources in the Genetics and Web 2.0 collection.

When the Cardiology in Social Media collection was published, we had to include The European Society of Cardiology as it has a properly designed and managed online presence. Now it's a pleasure that Webicina is featured on the website of the ESC.
