πŸ‘πŸ‘ I took 3 things from that excellent piece:

1. Oxford Nanopore sequencing- is freaking cool AS. Totally makes sense why you shall utilise nothing else in genomee-landπŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

2. The DARPA brainstab tools- uh yeps. The level of nudge involved on the public, for a testing mechanism that so many knew, was nowhere near reliable enough to be used diagnostically, was very interesting. Combined with the changes at regulatory agencies like TGA/FDA, to the registering parameters- it was like the freaking wild west! But I deviate slightly on your theory. Reality is 23&Me and the multitude of other DNA private companies, have had a lot of DNA information floating in the ether, for quite a while now, which has all been sold multiple times over. So I doubt it was a DNA dump exercise. If anything, I think it was more a refinement tool, training tool and possibly a hunting tool. For what? Who really knows, but it certainly wasn't for SARSCov2!πŸ˜‰πŸ€¨

3. The bit in this article that makes me C&C factory-

"...the long DNA is cut into shorter segments of specific lengths using sound waves....".

Now THATS very interesting. Things that make me go Hmmm?! BTJMO πŸ˜‰πŸ€”πŸ˜‰
