I guess this is a cool business idea. The science of decoding the genome into useful information is still in its infancy (I think). This means that right now having your genome sequence is of limited use because there will so much of your genome that we don't understand yet (again, I could be mistaken).
These individuals have found a way take this developing technology and sell it. Kudos to them.
Does anyone know what type of sequencing technology they are using? Would the authors care to share?

We are using Sanger sequencing technology.
Is there any specific reason why you use Sanger instead of, let's say, Illumina?
Because in my experience Sanger is slower and more expensive than Illumina or any of the other 3rd-gen-sequencers...
