23andMe offers genotyping services. Discuss genotyping services like Ancestry.com, etc, in this forum. Remember that genotyping services is NOT genome sequencing. See the "Genome sequencing" forum for discussions about genome sequencing.

Epigenomics is the study of the complete set of epigenetic modifications on the genetic material of a cell, known as the epigenome. Epigenetic modifications affect which gene is turned on or off. They are reversible modifications on a cell’s DNA or histones that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence.

Genome Sequencing is the technology that sequences the whole genome. 23andMe only genotypes certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), i.e. single positions, or about half a million of the 3 billion base pairs. Veritas and Nebula are at the forefront of direct-to-consumer genome sequencing. Both Nebula and Veritas were cofounded by MIT professor and “godfather” of the Human Genome Project, George Church.

Metabolomics is the scientific study of chemical processes and involves the comprehensive detection and identification of metabolites among them sugars, organic acids, amino acids, hormones, neurotransmitters. The metabolome represents the collection of all metabolites in a biological cell, tissue, organ or organism, which are the end products of cellular processes and reveals a much more complete picture of the metabolic state of a person that the current blood work tests ordered by physicians during a regular checkup .

Use this forum to discuss the model for human health and well-being: (Epi/Meta)genome*exposome=phenome Phenomes consist of the physical and biochemical traits of an organism as they change in response to genetic factors ((Epi/Meta)genomics) and environmental and external influences (exposome). Phenome data can involve self-measurement data, such as sensor data, blood test results, among others. Emotions are included in the phenome. They are linked to production of hormones and neurotransmitters which can be measured, and so good and bad emotions can be measured. The exposome can be defined as the measure of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. Exposome data can involve self-measurement data, such as the foods someone eats, the social interactions in one’s life, and environmental influences, among many others. As for the (Epi/Meta)genome, it is a big factor in our health and well-being. Our genome codes how our body reacts to the exposome, while exposure to different environments, foods, situations can modulate or change the pattern of gene expression and our epigenome or metagenome (our microbes population)
