Can someone recommend where one can order a full genetic sequence currently in the US and get the raw data ? It seemed highly-regulated when I last checked and required it be order through your doctor. The article touches on this a bit how the price gets into the thousands due to markups and counseling.
Also how many full sequences would I have to get before the data is statistically sound. Since there is likely a base pair or two that will be different between the cells (maybe) and the sequencer hardware and process will likely have errors too. My gut tells me 10 to 20 but perhaps that seems like overkill since many base-pairs might be junk/repeats/irrelevant anyway and the raw data will have some confidence indication as well IIRC.
