$100 DNA test imminent

Not entirely true as it might sound.

I joined the program a week ago. Did all surveys and I'm currently sitting on 550 credits. To qualify for a their main genome sequencing, "Low-pass Whole Genome Sequencing (0.4x coverage)", you need 1000 credits or $99. But if you want whole genome sequenced, you need to order their flagship product, "Clinical-grade Whole Genome Sequencing (30x coverage)". Which is greyed out on their website currently. And I'm not even going to guess how many credits is that going to cost.

As a point of reference, the rate for ~30X human whole-genome sequencing is about $1,300, though this number depends on a few factors like the sequencing machine one uses.

You missed the Black Friday $199 WGS offer from Dante Labs.

In addition to the variant containing VCF file, on request they offer the raw read data on hard disk in FASTQ and BAM format (mapped I presume).

Thank you for the clarification. I've been on the fence about it and it sounds like I will have to wait a little longer before committing to it.
