Now, sequencing of total genomes getting is getting less expensive day by the day. Soon it may be affordable for a common man to get his genome sequenced. What in your opinion could be the advantage and disadvantage of this development?

Advantages:

1. It would lead to better diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic disorders.

2. Better understanding of DNA gene sequence would lead to better understanding of biological systems.

3. Health care, agricultural and environment can be understood easily by learning the DNA sequencing of other living organisms.

4. Extensive research on human evolution can be done

5. DNA forensics would also become possible.

Disadvantages:

1.Patenting of the genetic test results can be done. In turn of which gene patenting can also be done.

2.Untreatable genetic disorders might be discovered.
