Hi All,
I frequent this forum and I would like to know from y'all what you would do if you can sequence your own genome. I have arthritis and I don't expect sequencing my own genome would make me do anything different with the following 2 exceptions.
1. I can look for that darn bug that may be suspected to cause arthritis (Mycoplasma -> Rheumatoid Arthritis). I used to work for a lab that culture this little bugger. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1006269/
2. I can hang on to this genome as an insurance in case I get cancer. Arthritis patients tend to get these and I assume it is all the immuno suppressants drugs.
I put together a survey of 4 questions (com'on only 4) in which I ask the following questions. Hey, no harm no fowl if you don't care to respond. I love this forum and hope you guys continue the great work and that the ads are paying you the decent wages you deserve.
*** questions ***
Metagenomics of the blood (what ELSE is in my blood)
take unaligned read and align to 16S of a database of organisms
Pseudo Tumor Normal Analysis
Look for translocation events against another unrelated genome
Should I make my genome public (80GB bam for a 30X genome)
If you were me, would you share your data?
What else would you do with your genome
As I accumulate answers I'll add more multiple choices
