## Abstract

Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing genomic services are provided. A request is received from a user. The request is applied to one or more from a group of a personalized data repository for the user and supporting knowledge bases, wherein the personalized data repository includes genetic test results, health/clinical information, and insurance coverage, and wherein the knowledge bases include information pertaining to genetic tests and clinical guidelines. Data from the applied request is integrated with results from service modules performing one or more from a group of content search, variation interpretation, and report generation to produce results for the request. The personalized data repository and supporting knowledge bases are updated based on the results of the request. Surveillance services are triggered based on one or more events.
