Tu Genoma por U$ 48,000 (y los podes mirar en tu celular)
"The offering includes sequencing of an individual’s DNA to 30 times depth, providing information on SNP variation and other structural characteristics of the genome such as insertions, deletions and rearrangements."
"Illumina will also launch an iPhone application that will allow consumers to check their personal genome for genetic markers related to ancestry, traits, and health on their phones."

Se podria decir que, para un empresa o proyecto biotecnologico, la secuenciacion del genoma del organismo con el que se esta trabajando se ha convertido en una herramienta disponible. Un microorganismo se podria secuenciar por U$20,000, o menos, seguramente.
