Over at Hacker News there was a discussion about our ebay genome story that I thought was cool enough to post below. In the first part of the thread user davidmathers is talking about the cost to sequence an entire human genome (which we have written about many times).

Let us know in the comments. Just to break the ice, I will go first. Check the comments!
