If you have already submitted a sample, you will get a report. Since 23andme maps your whole genome, they simply compare the existing data as new finding are approved. OR if you are like some and signed up early before the FDA crackdown, you already got all this information and now they are just reappearing little by little.

Since 23andme maps your whole genome...

They don't go that far. A full genome sequencing costs around $2900 as of 2015. (Which is amazing, since the first one cost billions.) Maybe $1000 with the new Illumina HiSeq X Ten sequencing system. Data from a full genome sequencing is about 80GB. (Opportunity here for specialized compression - 98% of the genome for humans is the same.)

23andme is testing for about 100,000 known patterns using a much simpler approach for about a tenth of the price.

Where can I get my full genome sequenced?

[Animats]

Lots of places. Genomics Personalized Health in Santa Monica offers the service to individuals for $2500.[1] Includes cloud storage for the data. They have a list of medical consultants who can help interpret the data; they just give you the bits.

23andMe uses genotyping. IANAMB, but I think that means they run a series of assays each of which "examines" a small PART of the genome to look for something very specific.

As part of their process, however, they could extract the DNA and keep a sample frozen for later assays or even full genome sequencing but I don't know if they do that.

They give you the option when you sign up, of retaining your sample for later sequencing runs on newer/more comprehensive hardware, or discarding it.
