DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Soon most of us will all have our DNA sequenced one 
 way or another. This will be the age of personal genomics\, where each per
 son has their own genomic data\, but what will we do with this and how wil
 l it change society? Current efforts to take advantage of mass genomic dat
 a focus on medical cohorts and association studies. These studies (called 
 GWAS ) are based on straightforward statistics in principle\, but I will t
 alk about more complex computational approaches using molecular biology da
 ta that have the potential to transform what can be done with genomic data
 . I will also discuss the importance to personal genomics of studying the 
 healthy individual\, the commercial space and future impacts on society.
