Everyone can have an access to his/her own genome and will be able to analyze it with many interesting bioinformatics software.

A small 3 gigabyte capacity USB and flash memory device is capable of storing the whole human genome theoretically. However, a human genome normally will require more space than that as there are much additional information to it.
