How much would you want for your genome?

I haven't thought about an exact number, but I'd probably cave in for $20M.

I'd finally be able to afford a house, never have to work for a toxic company again in my life, and could afford various preventative medical care without relying on insurance.

Basically, "life-changing" money.

Interesting, thinking about it - makes sense the money has to be life-changing, as you’d be selling the data of generations - or maybe there is some kind of formula that can be derived from gene distribution and kinship (you pass on 50% of your genes, etc.)
