I just ran across this website where they've initiated a competition (of sorts). The basic premise is that you reconstruct a person's identity based on genomic information provided by the site - this is a real person whose genome these people have sequenced. The contestant's goal: figure out as much information about the person as possible (ancestry, medical conditions, what have you) and the person who comes the closest (subjectively, based on the judges), wins!
What do they win, you ask? Well they win their own genome! Yes, you best describe this woman based on the information they provide (pretty much a guessing game) and they'll sequence your genome - PRETTY SWEET!
