You Whole Genome is Now Sequenced: What Happens Next?
You paid somewhere between $300 and $500 for whole genome sequencing. Maybe Nebula, maybe Dante, maybe one of the newer providers that keep undercutting each other. You got a folder. Inside that folder: a VCF file with 4.86 million rows of variant data and a dashboard that shows you maybe 1% of what’s in there.
The dashboard answers their questions. Ancestry breakdown. A handful of trait associations. Maybe a carrier screening if you’re lucky. But your questions — the ones that actually matter to you — don’t have a button.
“What are my CYP enzyme metabolizer phenotypes?” No button.
“Which variants did I inherit from my father versus my mother?” Definitely no button.
“What does ClinVar say about that variant my doctor flagged last week?” Not even close.
This post is about closing that gap. I’ll show why it exists, what it looks like when it’s gone, and how to...
