In the near future (or arguably now depending on your purpose) you don't even need that. Assuming enough of your relative's sequences are available, the probability of you having certain genes/mutations can be narrowed down so much that having your individual genome doesn't add much.
- petters 5y agoThis does not seem true? Even if the complete genome of my mother and father is known, there is still a lot of uncertainty left.

- petters 5y agoYou don't have to reconstruct the genome in order to prove relationships or find a person.
- russdill 5y agoLets say there's some rare genetic disorder, only a few hundreds of a percent of the population has it. If someone knows that your mother or father has it, you now don't have a few hundreds of a percent chance of having it. Depending on the disorder you having it might just be a cointoss.
