You may be planning to talk about this, but I really wonder if some of the information that we are now able to share with patients is getting ahead of our understanding of its meaning. I've been told I have a mutation on my ATM gene and it's 'not clinically significant,' but is it really not significant or do we just not yet know HOW it's significant? Lots to ponder and lots for experts like you to uncover, I suspect!NotMyLinesYethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341656344049375264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-65621888740230125332019-01-13T20:53:22.914-08:002019-01-13T20:53:22.914-08:00That's a great question!

My understanding is that Ancestry (and 23andMe) is doing genotyping instead of sequencing, which involves different technology though with the cost of sequencing dropping so quickly I wondering if that will one day become moot.<br /><br />Here's a nice explanation for 23andMe's website: https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/202904600-What-is-the-difference-between-genotyping-and-sequencing-Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-47437127950673066572019-01-13T20:34:53.406-08:002019-01-13T20:34:53.406-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-88709945856448274752019-01-13T19:13:39.348-08:002019-01-13T19:13:39.348-08:00Whoa...this is beyond cool.

But also, you are gifted with putting complex information out there in a way that people who are not inherently science-brained can understand. I feel like I just took an advanced Bio lecture. I am excited to see what's new with this technology and how you may be involved! Question -- is the more readily available sequencing how those ancestry dna companies do their thing?

I quickly figured out you're not talking about Natural Gas Services or the National Genealogical Society :-) And then I got to the part where you explained (patience, Lori!).<br /><br />2.
