     This site is really interesting because it is really different from what we learned in the Bioinformatics Summer Program. Paradigm Genetics is industrializing the process of gene function. It is suppose to help the global economy in four ways health, nutrition, crop production, and industrial products. They believe that knowing the gene functions is the key to business, research, and patent strategy.   

     What I find good about them is that they not only would modify the genes, but they will also look at the consequences of it. It also talks about some of the experiences of the scientist. This site  have background information that talks about the beginning of genes like the human genome project. It contains many visual pictures and diagrams of people, facilities, equipment, etc. Also it has pictures and names of the staffs and short biography of them.  Job opportunities are listed on this site too. Overall, the feeling I get from this website is that they are very proud of their work and that is a good thing to feel confident about.
