The Project is sequencing the whole genome of every participant – this lays it all down on file for future reference. So far our analysis of this data has been focusing on your genes – the 23,000 bits of that genome that play an active role in making your body do what it does. We use very sophisticated ‘gene panels’ to compare your genes against the ones that we know are associated with certain medical conditions. Beyond the genes, we have also begun to analyze other variants – this expands how much of your genome that we look at. In the very near future, we will also be able to use new technology to look at more bits between your genes, which will help us to find more answers for you.
