The Genome Odyssey: The Promise of Precision Medicine to Define, Detect, and Defeat Disease by Euan Angus Ashley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fascinating look into the genome project. Interesting to learn the DNA we all carry can be sequenced and can be used to understand, diagnose and treat ailments that we carry. It was interesting to read how how Dr. Ashley's team was the first team to interpret a full human genome on patient zero.
Individual patient stories were very interesting to me. The Undiagnosed Diseases Program which does research of previously unknown genetic abnormalities is one result of the genome sequencing project.
The development of the genome sequencing allows for research of previously unknown genetic abnormalities. So much is possible by the decoding of our genetics.
This is a very readable and interesting book about some of the wonders of medicine and scientific breakthroughs. This would be a very interesting book for anyone interested in medicine and science.
