>>11131565I don't know about a specific textbook that would help honestly. It's not "math" persay, it's metadata analysis of the billions of base pairs trying to find if certain changes correlate to certain geographical regions/groups of people. The problem with this is it's just a feedback loop which is not necessarily accurate, especially when using simple SNPs. It also doesn't tell you anything substantial really
>>11131566still not a good idea. If for some reason you genome has some valuable information, they will still own it. And trust me, everyone's genome contains valuable information, value is just relative.
>>11131571all those predisposition tests can be done with far more privacy than those major genetic sequencing companies, including nondisclosure of personal genomic information (although I suspect that's not entirely true either).
whole genome sequencing is what I would do if I cared, just get raw raw data through some company that hopefully protects your privacy. Hell I should look into it and see if that's offered, there could be an open market
