Using consumer DNA testing services, you can uncover your family lines going back several generations. You can identify your racial makeup, familial ties and geographical background. For example, I found out that I am distantly related to Benjamin Franklin, which is kind of cool. At least, I can refer to my leadership skills as something I inherited from one of my famous ancestors (well, at least I’m going to claim that…).

If you have parents with blond hair, you are most likely to become a blonde. However, if your dad is the carrier of brown hair genes, you might end up being brown-haired. So we have more genetic possibilities stored in ourselves than what actually appears. Concerning your health, it is really useful to know whether you have “monogenic medical conditions”. For example, a genetic test can show you whether you have any such conditions, which you might transmit&nbsp;to your&nbsp;children; and if your&nbsp;partner also has it, even cause health problems for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">d) Information about your multifactorial medical conditions\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Generally, there are two types of diseases. One of them is called the multifactorial disease, where genetic components and environmental factors play significant roles. When you get your genome sequenced, you will get to know certain risk factors, which show you how much chance you have of getting a particular disease later in your life. Thus, you can get to know yourself better and get personalised solutions for preventing such diseases to get you. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you could definitely not learn from your genetic test\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) No prophecies on your fate\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Many believe that the sequenced genome carries information about the person’s fate itself: what kind of diseases they may have, or when they are going to die.

Sometimes it impacts your life, sometimes it does not. It depends pretty much on your lifestyle. If you are susceptible to diabetes, but you have a healthy lifestyle, perhaps you will never be aware of that fact. However, if there are no signs of the risk of diabetes in your genetic code, but you are overweight, don&#8217;t regularly do sports and have a stressful life, you might also end up diabetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) No definitive answers on your due date\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Many believe that the genetic code is something static and never-changing as if written in the stone of Ayers Rock in Australia or the Rock of Gibraltar. Unfortunately, I have to disappoint everyone who thought that the genome is a constant imprint of our fate. It is rather an ever-changing roadmap where various DNA “regions” impact each other in complex and sometimes incomprehensible ways, altering it continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, for me, the most absurd idea concerning genome sequencing was that you might find out the date of your death if you do a genetic test. It is an outright falsehood: we are not programmed through our DNA and you cannot know what and when will things happen to you. I also believe it is better that way. Let the universe work in its own ways while you work in your own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Healthcare is not prepared for mass genome sequencing\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Many assume that with the drop in prices and the time necessary for mapping a whole genome, the potential in genetics and genetically-related medicine is widely known in medical circles, moreover, it is leveraged by more and more medical professionals. However, I have to disappoint again. Healthcare is definitely not prepared for mass genome sequencing. Although it is not niche anymore, most general practitioners are still not prepared to make sense of your DNA report and include its findings in their everyday practices. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

There are algorithms everywhere, we just don’t recognise them as artificial intelligence, although this is what they are.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, things will not stop at this point, and in the coming decades, we will have to form a deeper relationship with A.I. as it will become a prominent part of our daily lives on a more active level. In the healthcare setting, for example, we can be assured that A.I. will become a member of the care team &#8211; so we better figure out how to deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A.I. will take over repetitive and data-based tasks and will transform your work\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It is easy to determine how not to relate to this upcoming new era.

Computers took over a good number of tasks from humans &#8211; accountants don’t have to do all the calculus for a giant firm on a notebook with a pencil anymore, but computers did not take the work of accountants, they lent advanced computational skills to them. Computers also created new jobs, jobs we never knew in 1980 would exist in a few decades.  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A similar shift is expected with algorithms and machines becoming better at certain tasks. A nurse might not need to do the blood draw in the future &#8211; machines will do it better -, or try and move heavy patients alone while changing their sheets. But this will not eliminate the need for nurses, it will transform what and how they do. They will probably have more time to empathically respond to patients, more time to talk about their cases and help them understand how to manage their conditions.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn to deal with A.I. now, in a non-commital way\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To prepare for the future, the best we can do is to familiarise ourselves with how artificial intelligence works &#8211; outside of our professional lives.
