A comment on $100 DNA test imminent. Parent comment

tbf their website is marketing 0.4x genome coverage for $99 coverage, and the "possible free sequencing and other rewards" is all research-institute-interest dependent.

which makes me feel better about the (obviously also subsidised by potential research use) $199 full genome Black Friday deal I just ordered...

That's an amazing sequence of words.

Sadly you do not have access to the raw data (BAM File) for the $199 deal if you read the fine print

If I find the VCF insufficient I can always pay another $60 for a disk with the BAM file on which still works out as better value. Am more worried about their less than stellar customer service reputation tbh.
