The paper examines motivations and outcomes of elective genomic sequencing across research, clinical, and commercial contexts, finding most participants found results medically important but few shared them with healthcare providers.

The paper presents a genetics-first framework using molecular knowledge to predict phenotypes from rare coding variants in a direct-to-consumer genotype cohort, identifying novel genetic causes for developmental disorders.

The paper reanalyzes genetic risk SNPs for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome using 23andMe data and finds most SNPs are errors in the original study.

The paper reports a crowdsourced challenge to predict height from genome-wide genotyping data using the openSNP dataset, with the winner achieving an r2 of 0.53.

The paper assembles the holo-genome of the lichen Umbilicaria pustulata using metagenomic data, revealing genome structures and abundance ratios of its symbiotic components.

Open Humans is a platform that aggregates personal data from various sources, enabling participant-centered research and data exploration while balancing privacy and autonomy.

The paper shows that dopamine-related genes influence both directed and random exploration strategies in a task involving reward maximization.

The paper presents a draft genome of Radix auricularia, a freshwater snail, with high coverage and gene annotation, providing a resource for genomic and population genetic studies.
