Abstract

Whole genome sequencing will soon become affordable for many individuals, but thorny privacy and ethical issues could jeopardize its popularity and thwart the large-scale adoption of genomics in healthcare and slow potential medical advances. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/As3J9NYsbbY is an audio recording of Alf Weaver interviewing Bradley Malin and Jacques Fellay about the possibilities and challenges of whole genome sequencing. © 1970-2012 IEEE.
