The guy laid out his genome on Github under an open license
Programmer Manu Sporny (Manu Sporny) sequenced his genome using the tools 23andme and put it in the repository under a license Creative Commons Public Domain.
Of course, not all of the genome is published, but only 966,977 SNP markers, that is, those parts of the genome that are responsible for the individual characteristics of each person.
Manu Sporny became one of the first people who decided to publish his genome and exactly the first to do it on Github under an open license.
Unfortunately, today scientists know the purpose of approximately 15,000 SNP markers, see SNPedia.com , this is a kind of Wikipedia for genetic information. The remaining markers have not yet been studied.

The Creative Commons Public Domain license allows anyone who wants to make changes to the source code and make forklifts. This happened immediately: the TeMPOraL user fixed some bugs and suggests making changes to the main project (the eyelids are now closed in the right way, the skin color is improved, the run speed is increased by 5%, the body's susceptibility to caffeine is increased, etc.). Soon the first fork appeared with scientifically based corrections.
It can be assumed that in the future such methods of genetic engineering will become normal and natural for each person, and not only when fixing bugs, but also for planning children (the merge function to the parents' genomes).
The cost of genome sequencing is reduced several times each year, so mass genetic editing technologies will soon become quite affordable.
Manu Sporni appeals to web programmers to help develop more user-friendly interfaces for working with genetic information.
