Gene sequence now costs 2.2 million

You can select you own gene sequence now for only 2.2 million dollars. It was 20 million, but new advancements have lowered the price. We are really in an age of huge scientific advancement.

"Right now the system must use an existing genome map as a reference -- it cannot sequence a new genome from scratch. But it worked to show the genetic differences between a new kind of E. coli bacterium and the existing E. coli genome map that has been published."
