So what’s a whole human genome sequence cost? That’s the usual metric machines are listed by.

  I looked in to it 4 months ago the cheepest service I could find was 2500 usd.

    That seems expensive. I got a personal sequence done (at 15x) four years ago for 750 usd. It was part of a group deal so maybe it isn't relevant to your search.

      Was it a full sequence? Did you get it back as a file?

  I believe Nanopore Technologies is about to announce that a $1000 Human genome is possible with the PromethION, a big brother of the MinION.

  It's really comparing apples and oranges. If you want a 30x whole genome for genotyping, you'll use short read technologies and it'll be way less expensive. The enormous reads offer a different window into genomes, by spanning repetitive regions where short reads can't be accurately placed. For lots of applications, the sweet spot is to use long reads for "scaffolding", then build up coverage with short reads.
