Stephen Quake discusses what he learned from his genome:
FWIW, Quake, co-founder of Helicos, interpreted his sequence using Trait-o-matic, an open-source app developed in the Church lab that I and the rest of the PGP-10 are using to interrogate our genomes and about which I expect to have more to say in the near future.
I work as an Assistant Professor in the Duke University Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (although this site and its content are my own).
In 2007 I became the fourth subject in Harvard geneticist George Church's Personal Genome Project. As the PGP moves forward, I am chronicling the dawn of personal genomics, that is, people obtaining their genomic information for whatever reason(s) and figuring out what to do with it. I am interested in the relevant technologies and especially the attendant privacy and other ethical/legal/social issues.
This blog may also discuss some of my non-genome interests or, to paraphrase Dwight Yoakam, "Guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music, etc etc."
