Thought this might interest some of you! (Cross-posting a bit from my blog.)
23andMe is offering FREE* genotyping today until 11:59PM PST to celebrate DNA Day early (apparently).
The asterisk is because it's not actually free. It's $108 plus shipping/handling costs because you have to pay for a 12 month subscription to their services.
Still, for about 1,000,000 SNP genotyping, this is a darn good deal.
I'm not actually sure yet what we receive back in terms of raw data (or if they actually give you back raw data). They do give you the data in some form--possibly genotype calls? Anyone know for sure?
I'm interested for myself, of course, but if your lab has five or fewer human samples (per lab member
) you've been meaning to get 1,000,000 SNP genotyped... well, I'll leave it at that!
