A genomics giant with a family history of heart disease and an Olympic athlete accused of cheating are just two of the medical mysteries unraveled by DNA analysis. Bob Harrington interviews Euan Ashley, author of The Genome Odyssey: Medical Mysteries and the Incredible Quest to Solve Them (https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250234995), who was inspired to write the book after watching an interview between "fellow nerds" Atul Gawande and Barack Obama.
