Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Review: 2019.474 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: It’s an angle of personalized genomes I hadn’t considered before.
Con: This is a flash piece with no joke (and no surprise) at the end.
I’m not seeing why there would be much of a savings doing two kids at once.
