I made cookies

so, you ever wandered what your DNA sequence looked like ? for just under 1000 dollars you might just find out. not that it will reveal your future, maybe will give you some probabilities of some diseases, but most of the things that will happen to you will not be dictated by your DNA, at least not in simple uncomplex format as analyzed here. I wonder if they'll be able one day to add epigenetic data to the sequences. that might add an additional layer of information. and even then, I don't know if I would want to find out, would I become worried and paranoid if I knew I had a certain probability of having a disease ?
The thing I would be curious about would be to learn about the past. where did my ancestors come from ? I find journeys interesting. but I would not pay 1000 dollars for it.
