Hello,

 

To give brief backround, I have genotyping from 23andme. I am interested in health applicable data. I've used my current data to generate reports from SNP variations.

 

Now, if I am mainly interested in health, would whole genome sequencing give me any more actionable data? I have very basic understanding of biology, so I resort to tools such as Promethease. I am willing (and plan to) learn, but I want to know if getting 100GB of my genomic data would mostly be a waste (I'm looking at https://www.fullgenomes.com/. ~1500 USD for 30x whole genome sequencing).
