With machine learning and a large enough population size they will eventually be able to determine the genetic markers that promote every disease.

I have always been curious about trying 23andMe, but I was concerned about my DNA being forever stored in a database somewhere. Now my decision is final, I&amp;#x27;m never going to use that kind of service.&lt;p&gt;I think this is going to impact their growth as more people realize the implications. I doubt their recent new investors[0] are happy.&lt;p&gt;[0]: &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.forbes.com&amp;#x2F;sites&amp;#x2F;matthewherper&amp;#x2F;2015&amp;#x2F;10&amp;#x2F;14&amp;#x2F;23andme-prepares-a-comeback-raising-115-million-at-a-1-1-billion-valuation&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.forbes.com&amp;#x2F;sites&amp;#x2F;matthewherper&amp;#x2F;2015&amp;#x2F;10&amp;#x2F;14&amp;#x2F;23andme...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>mahyarm</author><text>This is why I didn&amp;#x27;t use 23andMe&amp;#x27;s service.
