Description: It’s the holidays! Looking for a gift that really shows you care? How about getting your loved one’s genome sequenced? It took 15 years and $3 billion to sequence the first human genome. Today you can get some genetic information for as little as $199. No matter what you spend on your personal genome — and now there are a bunch of options at very different price points — you’re still going to get back results you may not exactly be able to use in everyday life. But if you're New Year's resolution is to "know thyself" better, then this episode of Signal is for you. The Signal podcast is produced by Katie Hiler.
