Doesn't 23andme only do localized sequencing for particular SNPs that are relevant for genealogical investigation? I didn't think they did full-genome sequencing.

they used to offer full data download but it looks like they disabled that. Nebula Genomics is offering to do it for $500 with black Friday sales, which is close.
Hm. Apparently I was wrong. They indeed "temporarily" disabled it after the credential stuffing attack [1].

They still do (update: not they are not). It is not and was not a full genome sequencing, but rather a SNP genotyping. Current 23andme raw report (using their v5 chip) contains around 24K SNPs.
