DISQUS

Of course, a full genome scan will be able to tell you about multi-base insertions and deletions and poly nucleotide repeats, which are a significant source of disease, but I think it's an open question whether you'll be able to predict more that would be medically relevant to the person scanned from a database of many people containing SNPs only or from a database of few people scanned fully.

Unless Knome has a whole slate of patients lined up already and plans to use the money to immediately acquire a startup(and if they're only taking in 20 people, they won't have enough), they're going to get passed up so fast...
