YSEQ is a German mom and pop lab which does next generation sequencing for genealogists. It has rather little utility for genealogists, but some people are really into figuring out their place in the great Y chromosome haplotree, so apparently there is a market. Family Tree DNA also does some next generation sequencing, of the Y chromosome and mitochondria only - they have bigger trees than YSEQ, but YSEQ I believe gives you the option to get even more resolution on the Y chromosome.

YSEQ will do full genome NGS if you ask for it but it's expensive, can take six months or more, and the owners have apparently been known to cancel your order and refund you if you complain about the wait times.
