Your genome knows much more about your medical history than you do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Your genome sequence will become a vital part of your medical record, thereby providing critical information about how to optimize your wellness.
Your genome isn't really secret.
For each gene in your genome, you quite often get a different version of that gene from your father and a different version from your mother. We need to study these relationships across a very large number of people.
The goal of getting your genome done is not to tell you what you will die from, but it's how to learn how to take action to prevent disease.
Knowing what your parents have gives you hints of things, but your genome is a totally unique combination of and interchange of DNA from your parents. There is no one else like you genetically.
The fact is that proprietary databases don't work for such basic and broadly needed information as the sequence of the human genome.
There is a long history of how DNA sequencing can bring certainty to people's lives.
My genetic autobiography can be found throughout my body.
Every cell in your body contains the same genetic information.
Living in your genome is the history of our species.
