Anyone have an Explain like i’m Five version of why one would get their genome sequenced? What benefits to me as a consumer would I get in terms of things identified, etc.
Maybe if I’m asking the question I’m not ready for the answer? Haha

People also spend money on things like handwriting analysis, personality questionnaires and measuring people's skulls to try to work out what they are like; genomics is at least somewhat accurate and based on reality!
In practice, you'll get told things like "You have endurance muscles, not fast muscles" and "You probably have blue eyes" (mirrors are more accurate!) and "You have twice the chance of getting this specific type of cancer" (twice a very small number is still a very small number).
