DESCRIPTION:In today's health system\, where the NHS is planning to sequen
 ce 100\,000 people by 2017\, it is expected that most of the UK population
  will be sequenced by the 2020's. Using a credit card and an Internet conn
 ection\, my family underwent the journey of sequencing our personal genome
 s\, perhaps simulating the scenario of any family in the future. We decide
 d to publish all our genetic data on the Internet requesting scientists an
 d hobbyists alike to give us feedback any interesting results. In this pre
 sentation I will briefly summarise many of the results we got from the com
 munity\, plus some other personal investigations. My talk will not only pr
 ovide a state-of-the-art overview of how much we can really understand tod
 ay about our personal genomes\, I also discuss briefly some challenging qu
 estions pertaining to genome privacy and the right not to know.
