- Dawn of Low-Price Mapping Could Broaden DNA Uses - NYTimes.com: The cost of determining a person?s complete genetic blueprint is about to plummet again ? to $5,000. That is the price that a start-up company called Complete Genomics says it will start charging next year for determining the sequence of the genetic code one human genome. Such a price would represent another step toward the long-sought goal of the ?$1,000 genome.? At that price point it might become commonplace for people to obtain their entire DNA sequences, giving them information on what diseases they might be predisposed to or what drugs would work best for them. The cost of DNA sequencing has dropped by a factor of 10 every year for the last four years. Complete Genomics expects most of its customers to be pharmaceutical companies or research laboratories that are doing studies aimed at finding genes linked to diseases. Such studies might look at the DNA of 1,000 people with a disease and 1,000 people without the disease.
