Unless research in this area is policed, outlawing the practice will drive it underground or to another country with less qualms. One problem with trying to ban incorporeal things like genetic sequencing algorithms is that you can't control supply like you can with guns or really any physical good that has a high capital expenditure requirement. You say "should we let it" like that wouldn't mean getting way more draconian about policing information. How do you prevent people from sharing their own DNA? How do you keep people from reading and remembering it?
