[DIYbio] Geneome Sequencing Costs

Hi, 


Here is an article that says that in 2012 sequencing 1 Mbp costed 0.1$ already?!? 
http://singularityhub.com/2011/03/05/costs-of-dna-sequencing-falling-fast-look-at-these-graphs/


If that were true, one could have the genome of e.g. the bioluminescent fungus Panellus Stipticus sequenced without spending much money??
(Note, there's the European and the American P.Stipticus, while only the American is biouminescent! While I guess they share some 99.8% of the genes, the mutations (new genes) make it luminescent obviously) 

http://mycor.nancy.inra.fr/blogGenomes/?tag=mushroom Here is the inky cap which has 37-megabases according to this page. That would mean 3.7$ for its entire genome? I would even pay 37$   :D


But is it possible to get this sequenced as a private customer (or also via university) at this price??
