#38 Here Is A Human Being Book Review

In his book, Misha Angist takes you through his experience as the fourth subject in the Personal Genome Project, George Church’s ambitious plan to sequence the entire genomic catalog: every participant’s twenty thousand–plus genes and the rest of his or her six billion base pairs. He shares his thought process on deciding to be a participant and contemplates the advantages and disadvantages. This journey takes you through Angist discovering his variants and what disease he was at a higher risk for.
