Really interesting, thanks !

Illumina seem to be keen on pushing that they are about morethansequencing.com too though… :)

as far as I know, Illumina doesn’t sequence the whole genome. It’s only(!) a genotyping paltform which allow to genotype a large number of SNP (http://www.illumina.com/pages.ilmn?ID=40). This is the technology used by 23andMe.

PS: and I don’t want my DNA to be sequenced since I saw “Welcome In GATACA” :-)
