Best Buy leaves out failed government play Chasers chastized, then complimented

One facet of Best Buy for Business (“Best Buy for Business builds data powerhouse,” BtoB's Lead Generation Guide 2008, page 6 ) that was not brought up by Best Buy (not surprisingly, and I am sure Best Buy would like everyone to forget) was the Best Buy for Government initiative launched at about the same time. There was lots of noise in the government market when Best Buy for Government showed up at [the FOSE Exposition and Conference] in 2005 and 2006, but largely because of T-shirts and big bags, not product.

The technique, combined with sampling cells from blastocysts (the very early embryo) before implantation in the womb, opens the way to pin-pointing a handful of genes that could be used to identify those blastocysts most likely to result in a successful pregnancy.
