How to sequence your genome at home

In this post I’ll describe how to sequence a human genome at home, something that’s only recently become possible. The protocol described here is not necessarily the best way to do this, but it’s what has worked best for me. It costs a few thousand dollars in equipment to get started, but the (low-coverage) sequencing itself requires only $150, a couple of hours of work, and almost no lab skills.
