I would like to study disorders in human and relate with DNA.
I am thinking to get DNA sequenced fro few hundred persons.
I read few topic in group and it seems that building my own or buying DNA sequencer is not good idea.
What would be my options get it sequenced?
Also what are software option available to analyze the sequence data?

To sequence a human Genome, cheapest cost is about us $1000 per sample. You get a VCF file that lists all the mutations in that sample. You also get the raw data, about 100 g bytes per sample.

You can check out the 1000 genomes project, http://www.internationalgenome.org/ you can download genomic data from already assembled and annotated genomes all the way down to the raw sequencing data. I'm not sure if the metadata contains info on disease states of the inviduals, but you can always tie mutations back to known diseases.

Thanks,
This will be helpful for comparison.
