Re: [DIYbio] Re: Backup of the whole individual genome

Honestly if you're doing it for the benefit of yourself, why not just
keep the DNA where it is now, and deal with the issues when you have a
use for the information? Sequencing is just going to get better/more
complete/cheaper, and it's very safely stored right now, (and when it
isn't any more then you probably don't care so much about it :)

Do you have a goal/purpose in mind? It makes a big difference as to
whether you want multiple tissues/epigenetics vs simple genomic
sequencing.
