uhh... how is this different from 23andMe and all that stuff? (not skeptical, just curious)

- timpattinson 13y agoI assume that it does not analyze your genome for risk to cancer etc.
- fragmede 13y agoSo you get your test-kit from 23andMe, you spit into the tube and you send it to... a 3rd party lab that processes your DNA and ships the digital data to 23andMe. That 3rd party lab has an IC that, using complicated, expensive chemistry, will digitize your DNA. Except technically not. There are some 'hot' locations that have been pre-categorized as 'interesting' on human DNA, that their chip will investigate and report back, and isn't a full sequencing of the genome. Two areas for to compete on are the complicated chemistry, and doing a more complete genome sequence.
