James D. Watson's gene sequence: when can the average creature afford their own?

The first human genome (gene map) took $3 Billion to complete and 7 years. James D. Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, was just this minute presented with his own genome map. The cost of doing his be a little underneath $1 Million, and took about two months. At this rate, when will a genome map be "affordable" for the average entity based on the current rate of progression towards getting a faster cheaper genome map?James D. Watson's gene sequence: when can the average creature afford their own?
The Human Genome project have spawned off into the HapMap project, who's aim is to reduce the cost of sequencing an entire individuals genome to below $1000. Researching this article might provide you more information as to what timeline they have.
I've have a hard adequate time finding a printout of the original genome. I forget whose it be...supposedly some early genetic researcher, according to Watson. But what I don't comprehend is why anyone would want his own, especially if it costs so much. The map is the same for everybody. Who's truly going to look at the differences in nucleotide sequences? Who in fact cares if some clause of the R2D2 gene on your 8th chromosome goes CGGTATGA and mine go GATCCTGT? Having the map of the whole gene sequence is what's cool.
