Watson was also the second person to have his fully sequenced genome published (after Venter). At the time it was very expensive. And perhaps dangerous since few knew what all that meant. The most interesting fact about his genome that he had twenty genetic defects for disease that had not expressed themselves for unknown reasons. This helped lead to a moratorium on public genetic disease diagnosis from places like 23andMe, just lifted last week. Because you cant really tell the client they will get sick or not for many of the defects.
