Hey I found this article today, I looked around and couldn't find anything about it here so I thought I'd post this on ATS. Apparently this is the first time an undertaking like this has occurred. The reasons behind it seem sound but I wonder how much of this is to help out the Illumina company win the race to commercialize full genome sequencing. According to their site and the wiki article about them they are "One of the primary players in the race to commercialize full genome sequencing. What do you guys think?

(Medical Xpress) -- The small island nation of the Faroe Islands is planning to offer free full genome sequencing to all of its 50,000 citizens. Though only partially sponsored as yet (by genome-sequencing company Illumina) the project is expected come to fruition and will eventually cost close to $50 million and take up to five years to complete. Its main purpose is to provide better medical care for the population, though such a project would undoubtedly provide a great deal of useful information for medical research studies as well. The project was announced at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory during a meeting of genome researchers this past week.
The Faroe Islands is a self-governing dependency of Denmark located about halfway between Iceland and Norway in the Norwegian Sea. Its first inhabitants aren’t really known, but it is believed that most came from either the Norse countries or parts of Ireland or Scotland. Its citizens speak their own language, Faroese, which is believed to have evolved from Old Norse. The reason this is all relevant is because fully a quarter of the people who live in the country, are carriers of a gene responsible for Carnitine Transporter Deficiency, or CTD, a disorder that plays havoc with metabolism in infants and young children. If not diagnosed, it can lead to heart failure. Thus, it’s not difficult to see why the citizens are so open to the project.
