Someone posted this on the Eupedia Genetic Research Group on Facebook.
The site is called Genomix and is apparently run by the University of Sydney in Australia. It is part of a life extension project.
They will sequence the whole genome (3 billion base pairs) at a 30x coverage, which is excellent (better than most testing companies). The raw data will be available for download to use on third-party services. The kit won't be delivered until end of 2017 though.
The price is a mere AUD $200 (135€ or USD $150). Sounds like a good opportunity considering that most whole genomes test costs around USD $1000 to $2000. But I tend to be wary of 'too good to be true offers'. Can anyone think of any drawback?
