$5000 Personal DNA Mapping
[Edit]
Complete Genomics[Edit]

Complete Genomics has announced that come Spring 2009, people will be able to order themselves a complete genetic blueprint for just $5,000. This is an incredible price drop, given that the service currently costs around 20 times that amount. The benefits of obtaining your DNA sequence is that it gives you information on what diseases you may be predisposed to, what drugs are likely to work best for you, and it opens you up to the possibilities of obtaining personalized medicines.  Researchers say that a $5,000 genome would enable new studies to identify rare genetic variants linked to common diseases, and it could open up the sequencing market to diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies, making genome sequencing a routine part of clinical drug testing.
