All they do is put extract it, dry it, and put it in a box with a desiccant...sounds like snake oil.  For that money, you can have it sequenced and put on an SSD and have change left over, if not now, in a few years (I dont keep up with the price).

Well, I understand, but if their dessicant really guarantees that the stored DNA keeps unchanged for years, it's not that bad...

Full-genome sequencing costs still about $5400, not a negligible amount :-(
