- toomuchtodo 8y agoI don’t think it’s realistic to expect a few dollars for your contribution. I’d be happy just knowing my 23andme profile is helping develop a drug that otherwise wouldn’t have existed.
- darpa_escapee 8y agoI don't see how it's unrealistic. People are paid to participate in studies all of the time.
- a_bonobo 8y agoI think a large part why 23andMe is so cheap (<$100) is that the worth of your data is planned in, but I haven't seen anything confirming that.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoCorrect. Your fee just covers the genotyping on the Ilumina chip. Disclaimer: Interviewed at 23andme about a decade ago.
- darpa_escapee 8y agoI'm almost certain similar services exist around the same price point, which don't apply the SaaS model of privacy to user data.
