Letting the Genome out of the Bottle — Will We Get Our Wish?
Are you ready to know your own genome? What does it compose of? Do you need to really know?

Now you can get 500k SNPs plus 300k CNVs, 169 mtDNA, etc, for less than 1,000$.
Well why would you like to invest that much money to know what is in your genome. Then, what can you do about it, though.

deCODEme: "For only $985, we scan over one million variants in your genome"
23andme: "Unlock the secrets of your own DNA. Today" only 999$

"For genomic profiling to become valid and useful, well designed epidemiologic studies and thorough clinical evaluations of recommended interventions based on genotype are required." [Genomic profiling to promote a healthy lifestyle: not ready for prime time - Nature Genetics]
