Granted, the short-term impact of mass personal genomics is still going
to be exceedingly technical. Scientific genealogy nuts will purchase the
latest software, and argue over the esoteric aspects of “coverage,” (the redundancy of the sequence data, which correlates with accuracy) and the necessity of supplementing the genome with the epigenome.
Physicians and other health professionals will add genomic information
to the arsenal of their diagnostic toolkit, and an alphabet soup of new
genome-related terms will wash over you as you visit a doctor’s office.
Your genome is not you, but it certainly informs who you are. Your
individual genome will become ever more important to your health care.
