Complete Genomics is totally focused on people: <Also, animal breeders could probably use the information to get high precision in their breeding programmes instead of luck of the draw >

From the profile of Complete Genomics: futuremedicine.com <Complete Genomics Inc. is a life sciences company that focuses on complete human genome sequencing. It is taking a completely different approach to DNA sequencing than other companies in the industry. Rather than building a general-purpose platform for sequencing all organisms and all applications, it has focused on a single application – complete human genome sequencing. >

In decades to come, they could expand, but the big money is probably in people - though getting a really good kind of wheat, corn, or rice would be pretty good too. It's a wide open field.

The quality control for human production is appalling. Taking out the guesswork would be a great help to mothers.
