Obviously, the cost to sequence a genome depends on its size. The discussion below is focused on the human genome; keep in mind that a single 'representative' copy of the human genome is ~3 billion bases in size, whereas a given person's actual (diploid) genome is ~6 billion bases in size.
Alternatively, EPA has a more beneficial effect on lowering overall LDL (bad) cholesterol. In the cognitive domain, DHA appears to offer greater mental benefits. DHA has been suggested to be more effective in improving overall cognition and preventing cognitive decline in healthy older adults.
Benefits of DHA. At this point, you might think that DHA is useless. Just the opposite, because DHA can do a lot of different things than EPA and some of them even better. First is in the area of omega-6 fatty acid metabolism. Whereas EPA is the inhibitor of the enzyme (D5D) that directly produces AA, DHA is an inhibitor of another key enzyme, delta-6-desaturase (D6D), that produces the first metabolite from linoleic acid known as gamma linolenic acid or GLA (6).
