To be clear 23andMe does not do sequencing. They check for certain markers.

However full sequencing IS available and runs around $1000.

If I recall right the first human genome sequenced cost about $1 trillion. But we now have much better algorithms, mostly due to algorithms from works such as Knuth's AOCP.

Really interested how this one trillion figure came out, is it the sum of all medical research for decades? Are you talking US dollars

Was going from memory. Official number was $2.7 billion in 1991 dollars. So now it's $1000, or someone said $299, 9 million times less.
