<p><strong><font size="4">You can get the whole genetic map and sequences of you. It means that you can store nearly everything about your genetic information in a PC.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
However, the price for now it too highIt means that you can store nearly everything about your genetic information in a PC.</font></strong><br />
<br />
The steps are:<font size="3" color="#ff0000"><strong>However, the price for now it too high (about $300,000 in 2009). By 2012, the price will go down to around $1,000 USD.</strong></font> By 2016, the price will be below zero (i.e, you can sell your genome information if you want)<br />
