In this demo, somehow the user not only convinced Bill Gates to use an iPhone but also convinced him to accept their genetic data. Alas, their variant genome is only 95.8 percent similar to Bill Gates’ data, meaning they are not related.

Go back to the original article about the Consumer Genetics Show, Illumina’s new genome sequencing service and its iPhone concept app, MyGenome.

  1. Illumina demos concept iPhone app for genetic data sharing | mobihealthnews Says:

    [...] Flatley also demonstrated how users might send their genomic profile to a nearby device via a short range wireless technology like Bluetooth. (For a brief walkthrough of Flatley’s conceptualized iPhone application MyGenome, check out thi….) [...]

  2. Illumina launches own website and MyGenome iPhone application « The Future of Self-Knowledge Says:

    [...] Knome was first to offer whole-genome sequencing to individuals  including data interpretation, since early 2008 and currently charges $99,500 and Medomics offers a “diagnostic genome” service at an undisclosed price, although it has not yet had a customer for it. Illumina is the first sequencing-technology provider to open its service business to individual customers for non-research purposes and to consier how interpretaiton and comparison of ones genome could exist on the Iphone.
