alt Hacker Newsokay, it's interesting that you chose those three goals, i would have picked three very different goals (i support your mission don't misunderstand me). here is an illuminating reason why:
let's say i recorded a video of the ENTIRE end user experience of (A) collecting the genomics data with your solution (B) using an existing solution. which scene in the video would be different?
see, the problem is, not a single scene would be different.
I think I understand what you’re saying.
We’re focusing on an incremental improvement.
There are people actively working on private home sequencing, at home analysis devices, etc and they’re best placed to do it.
We’re trying to get ahead of a near future where people, implicitly or explicitly, are paid for their genetic data in insecure or exploitative ways.
