What’s a diploid genome? Why is my DNA in a biobank? Why do we care? Anuradha Acharya is a scientific fortune-teller, that is, her company MapMyGenome sequences your genes to help you understand with microscopic precision who you are and how to stay healthy. We simplify the 6.4 billion base pairs inside humans (hint: A-C-T-G), break down Nutrigenomics and which fad diets and fitness plans actually work for you, and the worldwide risk of our confidential DNA getting into the wrong hands and turning into, say, biological weapons and clones… no big. The future of medicine is here and it's nearly as affordable as a regular check-up. Do you want to know your destiny? Perhaps even control it?
