A comparison of the companies that will sequence or map your genome, what data each one hands back, and how to judge an offer by coverage, read length, and file deliverables rather than marketing copy.
A technical answer to what makes genetic testing private: who holds the raw files, what the consent terms permit, how re-identifiable the data is, and how to store and analyze a genome yourself.
What direct-access lab testing is, how self-ordered blood work is priced, and how to store and interpret your own results as structured data rather than PDFs.
A breakdown of consumer, research-core, and clinical whole genome sequencing prices, what each tier gets you in files and coverage, and where the hidden costs sit.
A technical account of the privacy properties of consumer and clinical DNA testing: what data exists, who holds it, what re-identification attacks work, and a concrete setup for keeping your own sequence data under your control.
