    23andMe - Welcome to You.

    This is the personal dna service mentioned in my previous fave.

    Quoted: Welcome to 23andMe, a web-based service that helps you read and understand your DNA. After providing a saliva sample using an at-home kit, you can use our interactive tools to shed new light on your distant ancestors, your close family and most of all, yourself.

    My Genome, Myself: Seeking Clues in DNA - New York Times

    refaving petersigrist. this is fascinating and scary at the same time.
    a) nervous what my dna would turn up about my predispositions
    b) nervous about the negative societal implications -- especially as it relates health and intelligence predictions. e.g. would a dna test be required prior to getting health insurance? would a dna test be part of the admissions process for a premier school?

    Quoted: Logging onto my account at 23andMe, the start-up company that is now my genetic custodian, I typed my search into the “Genome Explorer” and hit return. I was, in essence, Googling my own DNA.

    Quoted: He explains; “You can build up a computer vision camera model so that whenever we find a 2D pixel in the camera as being the ball centre then that gives us a line in space from the camera to the centre of the ball. Then if we have got one of those for each camera we can triangulate where the ball is because of the different camera positions will give us stereo vision.
