Nothing about this is the future. Sequencing at home will not solve any major problems. It's mainly a fun exercise to demonstrate that sequencing has been commodified.

I disagree, I sequenced with nebula genomics years ago.. you can understand risk factors for various problems so that you can start interventions that make sense way in advance.

		Did you actually find any actionable results? When I had my genome sequenced professionally they told me I literally had no SNPs in my genome that were associated with deleterious mutations. And even if you do, there are only some treatments- and those treatments usually have clinically validated tests that are accurate.

I don't wasn't someone else to have a copy of my genome, whilst wanting to analyse my genome. The only way to do that is with affordable home sequencing.

just a hobby project for now,pretty wild that this can be done at home.

Knowing exactly why I have high LDL because of a specific mutation on my DNA is very much the future, imo.

		.... which does not need or really want home sequencing. That's clinical-grade with QC and high quality instruments, along with professional genetic analysis.
