If you are willing to let your DNA be publicly available online, check out George Church's Harvard-affiliated Personal Genome Project: http://www.personalgenomes.org/

The goal is to have a dataset of free and open genomic data so that scientists can analyze freely and avoid commercial silos of data.

They will sequence your entire genome for free, subject to a backlog caused by funding shortages.

I think you can pay $1,000 to jump to the head of the line. You may also be able to jump to head of the line if you meet certain "interesting" criteria, like willing to have multiple folks in your family get sequenced. Haven't looked into this in a while, so you'll need to check and verify this paragraph.
