Personal genomics is going to be bigger than even the rosiest of predictions. It will become more affordable as technology improves.The youth born and raised in the Information Age will embrace it as they embrace the latest fashions. Personalized genetic Horoscopes may become part of this experience. The narrow SNP (snippets) they are currently offering now will expand exponentially with improvements in technology and cost structure. You have been TOLD!!! Get your running shoes on!!!

(That figure is quoted a lot on the Web, but I can't find an actual source, which makes me suspicious.) Anyway, that seems like a lot to me, but I don't know how it's defined -- if tumor genetic analysis is included, that could make up a good chunk of it (and probably wouldn't count as personal genomics anyway). Knome looks intriguing -- kind of like a private-sector version of George Church's Personal Genome Project for rich people who don't mind spending $1 million or so for a vanity genome. Interesting also that they list Church as an advisor. The Portfolio story quotes an unsourced estimate that genetic testing in general could be worth $12.5 billion by 2009.

I got an email just the other day asking where we could get our DNA sequenced as if it were something so ordinary and affordable that anyone should be able to get it done. Interestingly, not only is it currently not possible to have your whole genome sequenced, it's also darn near impossible to get a specific gene sequenced fully on demand. Being able to properly compare the many DNA analytical techniques that will be offered direct to consumers in the near future may be beyond the grasp of most average consumers. So how big will the personal genomics market be in the next 5 years? Personal genomics is a fascinating market that has the potential to be extremely overhyped (if it hasn’t already been).
