Dr. Frank writes a very accessible book exploring the potential and pitfalls of personal genomics, going through a number of available tests and screens while weaving her own personal narrative about family history and depression.

My Beautiful Genome: Exposing Our Genetic Future,… by Lone Frank

An easy to read accessible account . The personal genome industry is embryonic but clearly the way of the future for health and medicine and at the same time there are individual challenges in knowing or not knowing your risks. Its described as a biological memoir but is also full of wry humour, frank reflections and alternate perspectives . It's a great read for anyone interested in genetics and health After reading this book i sent off for my own mini genome profile .
