For longterm storage, store on a suitable RAID array rather than a single flashdrive, or use some error correcting software to make the sequence data on the flashdrive super redundant. Check manufacturer's warranties on device lifetime if kept in archival conditions. Better yet, find a techie librarian and ask them how they store large archival data.

You could try to sequence your entire genome. Usually this is a pretty difficult task, although most people here probably have better advice on specifically doing that. If you do your own library prep, at best it'd be around 900After that, just store it on a flashdrive. If you just want to store your fasta genome sequence, it should only take a few gbs.-Koeng

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
