As indicated on other pages on this site, I had my genome analyzed in May, 2008 by deCODEme.com, a division of Decode Genetics in Reykjavik, Iceland. In November, 2008, I had a further analysis done by 23andMe.com.
These companies do not decode the entire genome, but they do decode the points of human DNA that are the most common variations among different individuals.
For an excellent introduction to genomics and tutorials on the basics of how DNA works, see the excellent Learn Genetics site at the University of Utah, which was named by Science magazine as the best science education site of the year.
The summary of my genetic health risks at birth from my DNA scan from DeCODEme are shown at:
My Y haplogroup is I1d. The DNA results of my Y chromosome ancestry (male-line) are shown at:
My mitochondrial haplogroup is H4a. My DNA mitochondrial ancestry (female-line) are at:
The summary given by deCODEme.com for genetic health risks is actually only a very small part of the health risk information that is given in all one million plus SNPs. New reports about the effects of human DNA polymorphisms is coming in at the rate of hundreds per year, and that rate will probably be greatly increasing in the near future.
I have put my complete deCODEme file of 1,013,349 SNPs online, but the entire file is about 31 megabytes with more than a million lines of raw data, and is only of interest to those seriously interested in learning about SNPs in human DNA. This will be a major topic in the upcoming subscription site. My complete 31 MB deCODEme data file is at:
My complete 23andMe raw data file is a large tab-delimited file that will not be of interest to most people, but it is online on this site at:
These raw DNA files generally have to be loaded into Microsoft Excel 2007 in order to be viewable in any logical fashion. The files are too large for most other spreadsheets.
I have used the new software called Promethease to compare my DNA scans with the information in the SNPedia. That comparison is available online at:
Jerry's Promethease Report for pooled data for both scans. (About 17 megabytes.)
Jerry's Promethease Report for the DeCodeMe scan only
I probably won't be keeping my Promethease reports up-to-date as often as I have in the past simply because the size of the reports is getting to be so large. If you want to see a more comprehensive and recent report, you can follow the links to the SNPedia reports on my DNA scans linked from my Public Genome Page on SNPedia.
For information about how to read the Promethease report, you can read this SNPedia Promethease Page, or watch this excellent video on interpreting Promethease results, which is now available on Youtube.
