The $1000 is also minor compared to the computational and personnel costs required to interpret a clinical genome. It&#x27;s almost cheaper to re-sequence a genome than store the raw data long term. And the interpretation of the genome usually requires a multi-disciplinary team with advanced degrees (MS&#x2F;PhD&#x2F;MD). That part of the problem is still largely a manual process, and will be for the foreseeable future.<p>I&#x27;m not saying that it&#x27;s not worth it in some cases, but the sequencing is only a small part of the overall costs.
