This is quite big. These tests usually go for $1k+; recently there was a startup selling those for $600 (upselling to 1500 for meaningful reports), but this is even cheaper.

For comparison, 23andme tests provide 50 times less data.

With cheap tests like that, much more people will figure out their chances of getting cancer or hereditary diseases.
