I think we should be clear that for $1k you get something that is entirely different than a human genome. It's just a set of short reads that can be mapped onto a reference genome. You can't de novo assemble it, so you won't be able to see a lot of variation. In fact we can't even estimate how much large scale variation there is because all the studies are based on the short reads.
