At his Personal Genome blog, Jason Bobe compares the consumer genomics field to the personal computing industry by way of explaining his prediction that as many as 50 million people will have their genome sequenced by 2015. While Bobe makes it clear that there's no good evidence for that number, from GTO's perspective, it still sounds mighty optimistic. To make it, we calculate that you'd have to sequence more than 17,000 people per day from now till the end of 2015 -- but hey, stranger things have happened.
