Genomics XPRIZE Canceled

August 26, 2013 | Last week, the X Prize foundation canceled the $10-million Archon Genomics XPRIZE presented by Express Scripts. "After careful consideration, we decided that the competition was not incentivizing the technological changes that our prize chair, Dr. Craig Venter, our sponsors Stewart and Marilyn Blusson, and the XPRIZE board had intended," said Peter Diamandis in a blog on The Huffington Post.
