Hi,
There are many factors to consider the total cost of gene sequencing. Before, this costs as much as $10,000  but at present, biotech industry has been busy with  creating new machines for this purpose. And just recently, one Biotech firm claims to have invented a machine that can sequence a full human genome for $1,000.   Take care and regards.
