Yawn. Open source is the way of the future instead.

http://polonator.org/ - do it yourself pyrosequencing
http://biohack.sf.net/ - instructions and equipment ideas (needs work)
http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/ - biohack wiki for DIY sequencing etc.
http://openwetware.org/ - excellent wiki
http://biodatabase.org/ - for bioinformatics
http://diybio.org/ - Boston group (May 1 = first group meet)
http://biopunk.org/ - subculture

But if you want to go closed source:
http://decodeme.com/
http://23andme.com/
... among others. See a wiki: http://snpedia.com/
