You can get a free genome sequence – an analysis of all of your DNA that includes a report of your ancestry, traits and a medical profile. The medical profile tells you about diseases for which you have a low risk of getting, and also those you have a high risk of getting. Are you interested? Why or why not?arrow_forward
