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


What companies are offering that at that price?


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


Interesting thanks


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.


Hm. Apparently I was wrong. They indeed "temporarily" disabled it after the credential stuffing attack [1].

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.


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 .”
