The Human Genome Project to read a full copy of the base pair sequence in one human started out with about 3 Billion dollars in initial funding, and it took a couple of decades to get complete coverage. However, the technology, techniques and equipment developed to automate the process have massively cut costs and increased speed over that time. > A new speed record in DNA sequencing may soon help families more quickly find answers to difficult and life-altering questions. In just 7 hours, 18 minutes, a team of researchers at Stanford Medicine went from collecting a blood sample to offering a disease diagnosis. This unprecedented turnaround time is the result of ultra-rapid DNA sequencing technology paired with massive cloud storage and computing. https://www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/science/022722/record-breaking-rapid-dna-sequencing https://www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/science/022722/record-brea... You have to crawl before you can run.

Yeah you can get a whole genome sequence of yourself for about $300 now.

  What companies are offering that at that price?
  - fragmede 3y ago
    Shit, 23andme.com's discounted to $99 right now.

      Doesn't 23andme only do localized sequencing for particular SNPs that are relevant for genealogical investigation? I didn't think they did full-genome sequencing.

        they used to offer full data download but it looks like they disabled that. Nebula Genomics is offering to do it for $500 with black Friday sales, which is close.

        They still do (update: not they are not). It is not and was not a full genome sequencing, but rather a SNP genotyping. Current 23andme raw report (using their v5 chip) contains around 24K SNPs.

        Hm. Apparently I was wrong. They indeed "temporarily" disabled it after the credential stuffing attack [1]. [1] https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/212196868-Accessing-Your-Raw-Genetic-Data https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/212196868...

      With their history of selling and leaking people's DNA, 23andme doesn't seem like such a great deal at any price.

        Low price genotyping makes me think of the maxim: “ If you are not paying for the product, then you are the product .”

    Nebula genomics, Dante Genomics, ySeq and others (waiting for deals might be needed). 23&me main offering does Not include sequencing.
