An inspired excited young team, spawned out of Garage 48, are coming out with an analytic tool that estimates health risks with the easiest and the most user-friendly web application. The tool will be taking sequenced genomes from interested and willing individuals, and cross-analyzing with the most updated available genome-related studies and reports. Unlike popular Direct-to-Consumer companies offering genome interpretation which compares an individual's SNPs with commercially available SNP chips that might fail to capture many functionally important classes of variations, our intention is take fully sequenced genomes for analysis. Our initial aim is to establish a legitimate database and eagerly looking for collaboration opportunities with genome institutes and databases. Subsequently, we envisioned the product to become an app that the public can use easily when sequencing of genomes become an affordable procedure. The team consists of:
Kristjan Metsalu (University of Tartu: Software Engineering)
Dmytro FishMan (University of Tartu: Bioinfomatics)
Bogdan Semiletko (University of Tartu: Software Engineering)
Myroslava Stavnycha (University of Tartu: Software Engineering)
Agustin Guerrero (University of Tartu: Software Engineering)
Maarika Martins (Tartu Art College)
Saburi Ken (University of Tartu: Business Administration & Economics)

Were we spawned out of the blue?

Not really. We are formed at one of the camps that are organized by Garage 48; a challenging Startup camp that pushes teams to the limit to produce a Minimum Viable Product in a short space of time.

Genome Tracker has the support of Estonian Genome Center!

"The idea of this user-friendly web app gives individuals the freedom of getting their genomes analyzed, regardless of the country one is in or where he or she gets her genome sequenced; I would definitely be one of the first to try it out!"
- Andres Metspalu MD, PhD
Director, Professor of Estonian Genome Center, University of Tartu

The cost of sequencing a genome has decreased sharply, thanks to the rapid development of technology, from about US$100 million to US$10 thousand in the space of 12 years.

News are going around that the cost of sequencing a genome would further decrease to US$1,000 this year.

Perhaps, sooner than later, sequencing genomes will be an affordable procedure for the public.

Exciting future we all live in!

What is genomics?

Answer: Genomics is a study of the genomes of organisms. It main task is to determine the entire sequence of DNA or the composition of the atoms that make up the DNA and the chemical bonds between the DNA atoms. Knowledge of the DNA sequence has become an important part of biological research but...

Many have asked what is the big deal of using sequenced genome as the base variable and not the widely-used SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)?
*Typically, Direct-to-Consumer Companies offering genome-wide interpretation uses SNPs and not sequenced genomes.

Answer: http://qr.ae/hERmy

Awesome answer is awesome.

Answer: A raw sequence of genome of an individual is not of much worth, but a collection of multiple humans can identify patterns which lead to certain diseases which then, can be prevented. Human genome is collection of large amount of microbes. These may hide valuable information about our sp...
