Personal genomics opens the door to a new era in healthcare.

Personal genomics (or consumer genetics) is the branch of genomics concerned with the sequencing, analysis, and interpretation of an individual's genome.

By 2025, we will have sequenced hundreds of millions of human genomes. This progress provides insight into human complexity and disease, along with additional data.

Sequencing even one human genome generates about 200 gigabytes. How will we use this to deliver better healthcare?

Consequently, most treatments are designed for the average patient.

Traditionally, medicine was driven by experience and evidence rather than by each patient's unique traits.

Personal genomics opens the door to “personalized medicine,” a medical approach that tailors treatment plans and medical decisions based on a patient's predicted response or risk of disease.
