“We Want Our Genome Story” is about a person named Artist curious about her genome. She puzzles, “What is the Genome Revolution?” Determined to find out, she flies out her studio on a search for knowledge.
For Genome Explorers like you.
Not a guide to the best consumer genetic kit, “We Want Our Genome Story,” is for millions of us who already have our DNA data. We are a vanguard of Genome Explorers. We want to know more and what’s coming next.
That would be WGS — Whole Genome Sequencing. It reads all of your DNA in a big data set. It’s a seismic shift from current, short-read methods. There’s much more happening in the Era of the Social Genome. Artist is your guide to the potential and possibilities, the wonder and beauty in our Genome Stories. And why it’s essential to be genome-literate in the Twenty-first Century. You can buy it soon! The digital book will be available for purchase from Apple Books in early 2021.

Did you know?
We are a mosaic of genomes. Each of us has a single, unique genome, made up of DNA from our chromosomes and mitochondria. But we can “carry” more than one, making us a mosaic of slightly different genomes. Like mutations in the cells in our tissues that change our genetic sequence. The changes are usually harmless, but some cells have mutations that could contribute to cancer. Now that scientists can detect proto-cancer mutations, what happens next? It can be a messy situation.
