For what 23andme does, a couple hundred probably, maybe under 100 if you went in with several people. You could have your whole genome sequenced, the materials and service cost would be in the neighborhood of $7000 commercially.

Data analysis costs vary widely, depending on what you want.

That's awesome. Do they have a good track record of privacy? I read what they have on their site, but I can't just take them at face value with something as valuable as a whole genome.

For a while Veritas claimed to offer full genome sequencing for $1000, but I believe they've recently reduced the price to $600. Also, in refreshing my memory on this company with some light research, I found this published 40 minutes ago:

Whoops!
