My Genome Box: An app model for your genomic data

For those of you who don't understand how Biotech and genomic sequencing applies to you, here's a start: For $2500 (reduced from $1BB price tag in the year 2000) you can send a spit kit to Diagnomics, Inc. They will load your genomic data into the My Genome Box service, where you can browse a selection of genomic apps that will tell you a bunch of things, from the frivolous (how much Neanderthal DNA you contain, cost=$0) to your BRCA gene profile for breast cancer (for $19 -- compare to Myriad Genetics' $3000+ price tag for this relatively simple test). Heredity, predisposition to various diseases, tendency toward/away from various psychological traits, etc., most of these studies costing in the $5 range. I'm also pretty sure they'll have an interface app for your phone or tablet soon, too.

It's a new world.
