Whole Genome Sequencing

I never looked that much into it but it is read many many many times, you could probably get the individual sequences out of the bam of fastq with the right software

There is a way to do it. It is not one of my key focuses at the moment so I am not trying to get it done. However, I would think it would hit DTC at some stage.

A year ago I wrote a short piece about why I have not yet had my genome sequenced and why I donā€™t think itā€™s worth it for most people at this time. This may be of value to people here to read before jumping on buying whole genome sequencing tests. Here is what I wrote last year on this:

Thanks @Olafurpall read the piece. I agree with you that we should not fall for hype about how much whole genome sequencing can help us today. But I do wonder if your pieces is a bit too pessimistic for going into mid 2024 and the next few years.

Whatā€™s your thought on this - Whole Genome Sequencing - #5 by Neo - even at this more conservative level it seems worth a few hundred to have oneā€™s whole genome?

The 30x package is not searchable I believe. I got the cheaper package not knowing that I couldnā€™t search for a specific gene. They want me to upgrade, which involves a new sample and paying for the lifetime access again. Iā€™m looking for a third party like promethease to help with my raw data, but I canā€™t find one.
