The cover of The Genome Odyssey is gorgeous & appealing. Dr. Ashley is one of the pioneers of gene sequencing and it has made medical advances possible

Dr. Ashley is a cardiologist and one of the pioneers of gene sequencing of the human genome. I think this will be extremely interesting and from the first few chapters, I can tell he will have both factual scientific information as well as his personal stories of how the analyzing a patient's genome has change their lives.

As a physician, medical advances have always fascinated me. The researchers are the backbone of our medical society, they bring forth data that the front liners can use in their practice. I am most interested in his stories of how they use the human genome to diagnose and treat patients with "unsolvable" illnesses.

Medicine can be tailored to YOU, the individual if we continue to advance genome sequencing and making it available to all.
