To be clear 23andMe does not do sequencing. They check for certain markers.
However full sequencing IS available and runs around $1000.
If I recall right the first human genome sequenced cost about $1 trillion. But we now have much better algorithms, mostly due to algorithms from works such as Knuth's AOCP.
- killingtime74 4y agoReally interested how this one trillion figure came out, is it the sum of all medical research for decades? Are you talking US dollars
- warbler73 4y agoWas going from memory. Official number was $2.7 billion in 1991 dollars. So now it's $1000, or someone said $299, 9 million times less.
