Hello
You could join the Personal Genome Project (aka PGP).  But the waiting list to be sequenced is quite long (couple years?) at the moment I think.  With the dropping cost of sequencing in general, maybe their queue will start going faster.  A donation is requested.  Attendance at a yearly Harvard genomics conference is encouraged.  Plus, the third-party experiments such as sequence-your-gut and sequence-your-home are interesting too. 

A link to my own genome thru the PGP is here   http://88proof.com/about
(the genome link itself is really super long and that's the simpler one to mention)

By the way according to my genome sequence, I have a motif similar to one causing a potential yet very statistically unlikely disease which at any time might result in "palpitations,  fainting, and sudden death."    So watch out for black cats crossing your path, etc.  If you believe in that sort of thing.


Happy holidays, ho ho--*thunk*
