Trend relating to desire to analyze one’s personal genome in an advanced genome sequencing course. This was observed at three time points before an introductory genomics course (T1), after the introductory genomics course (T2) and before the subsequent advanced genomics course (T3) taken by 19 students at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai during the 2012 summer and fall semesters. Desire to analyze their own genome did not change between T1 and T2 (Wilcoxon signed-rank test P = 0.16), but significantly increased between T1 and T3 (Wilcoxon signed-rank test P = 0.014), and between T2 and T3 (Wilcoxon signed-rank test P = 0.025).
