Mapping is a fairly straightforward process where SOTA software is FOSS (as is most bioinformatics software). Accessing databases can be as simple as linking your data to the UCSC genome browser [1]. Of course, if you want to go the manual way, the sky is the limit.

>by far the most useful preventative medical advice that I've ever received has come from unleashing coding agents on my genome, having them investigate my specific mutations, and having them recommend specific follow-on tests and treatments.

BTW this tech can be used for more than sequencing, if you can arbitrarily pushmepullya the strand back and forth through the pore, or join the strand ends and cycle a hoop through the pore you can read, snip, splice, and continue, until you have a customized strand.
