In the series finale, Gates explored the emerging use of full genome sequencing to understand personal ancestry and health, by learning what might be inferred from his whole genome sequence, and that of his father, through in-depth analysis by a personal genomics company (Knome) and the Broad Institute.
In 2012, PBS aired Finding Your Roots, also examining questions of genealogy and genetics, hosted by Gates.[4] This program became a ongoing series. As of 2022 it was still in production, and will present new episodes in early 2023.
