I don’t care much about the price. I really want to do it. However, the privacy issues are a show-stopper. If they can’t do it without being able to completely and totally destroy the data – and my saliva sample – after I’m done poking around with it, I just can’t do it. The contents of any valuable database stand an extremely good chance of eventually being stolen, leaked, or sold, no matter how careful the maintainers claim they will be.

You’re absolutely right, Bud! I should review all of these services. (soon…)

One thing I really liked about DeCode’s offer VS 23andMe’s was the fact that DeCode said you could download your own copy of your chip scan. 23 doesn’t mention this and seems to want to keep the databases to themselves…. Also, there’s another company http://www.knome.com in that says it will sequence your entire whole-genome (instead of a chip-scan). Knome’s site doesn’t give a price though… But whole genome sequncing is definately the “Holy Grail” where everyone will eventually get to… It’s going to be fun to watch play out.
