Thanks to you, and others, for sharing. I hadn't yet resorted to looking in the consumer space. In research (and presumably clinical)-land, the costs are substantially higher.

I'll be looking into it further to figure out whether there is some tradeoff here, or if it is just typical cost bloat for medicine/academia.

I haven’t done very thorough research, but my impression is that there is a considerable cost bloat if you go through hospitals and similar, but that the genome sequencing is essentially the same.
