[DIYbio] Re: Backup of the whole individual genome

Safest way is get some of your tissue or blood, extract tons of DNA, put it on filter paper. Dry it. Stable DNA has a very long half-live (500 years IIRC) at room temperature. Put it into your freezer, so it should survive the next million years (assuming your freezer will be functional that long).

In 10 years you probably can sequence it for a few bucks.

Hi everybody,

let´s say I wanted to "backup" me whole genome, let it be for scientific reasons or for medical purposes in future.
What options are available at the moment to get a digital backup for your whole individual genome (not only some SNPs or the exome)
Thank you

Mike
