z991··on Nanopore sequencing, Shasta toolkit enable de novo assembly of 11 human genomes
In total it was about $3k. So not cheap, but also not a real lab budget by any means.

Oxford Nanopore (makes the sequencer used here) is one of my favorite companies. I think we'll see their work start to change how we do diagnostics in the next 5 years, especially with their automated library preparation product [1].

I was blown away how possible billion-base DNA sequencing is in non-lab environments when we bought one of these for fun [2].
