DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSoon most of us will all have our DNA sequenced one
  way or another. This will be the age of personal genomics\, where each pe
 rson has their own genomic data\, but what will we do with this and how wi
 ll it change society? Current efforts to take advantage of mass genomic da
 ta 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.\n
