The genome information is the most fundamental element of a human being and life forms on Earth. It defines anyone in the world most definitely and critically. <br />
<br />
There are many things in life that are not equally given to everyone on Earth. Certain things such as education is so critical it often determines the fate of people. Genome information and its usage to a person is important to a person. It lets the person know his/her potential, health, and origin.<br />
<br />
Due to different backgrounds of people, our societies provide people with different levels of information and opportunity in terms of genome information. Some people have already their full genome information. Some have their genotype information through SNP chips.<br />
<br />
I would like to suggest that everyone on Earth trys to provide the next generations of humans an equal stand on their genome information by facilitating cheap and public genome sequencing and genomics analysis regardless of nationalities, races, and financial backgrounds.<br />
<br />
To achieve that we need an international consensus and proposal to UN, governments, charities, and institutes. We need to state the importance of genomic equality in terms of sequencing opportunity, openfree analysis tools, public usage of data, and ethical guidelines for maximum usage of the data for individuals.<br />
