To my surprise, to date no one has thought of creating a genome project that focuses on the family. More specifically on the data that today a family can have access to via the internet and a credit card. I have decided to create the Family Genome Project to […]

In this interview I talk about the current understanding of our personal genomes, my work at Repositive and my recently published book ‘Perfect DNA’.
I am doubly privileged to give two presentations at the Festival of Genomics London on January 31st. 12.25-12.50 – A family experience with open-access personal genomics Track: Whose genome is it anyway Venue: Theatre 4 Here I will be exploring the current boundaries by which an ordinary family […]
I have gone through the sequencing process three times, to do my genotype, my exome and my microbiome. As technologies evolve and new nuances are gained by the new improvements, sometimes it becomes necessary to repeat the sequencing. This made me think about statements that I have heard […]
CircosVCF is a web based visualisation tool of genome-wide variant data described in VCF files using circos plots. The provided visualisation capabilities, give an overview of the genomic relationship between genomes, and the integration of additional information such as experimental data or annotations. I am very glad they are using […]
The way I understand Personal Genomics is when one sequences/genotypes his/her genome outside of the clinical setting, usually using direct-to-consumer genetic test providers. The usefulness of personal genomics data is being disputed among clinicians when applied to healthy individuals, that is, individuals that are not affected by a […]
With great pride I am happy to announce that the Perfect DNA book is now available on sale on Kindle. For all of you based in the Cambridge area, we will be celebrating the launch of the Kindle version of the book at the Cambridge Social Ventures Christmas party tonight […]
This time it has caught me by surprise and to me is probably the greatest recognition of my work to date. By chance, a colleague of mine, Katie, was learning about the Human Genome, using the Wikipedia entry about it. To her surprise (and mine) she asked me whether some […]
