🧵 DNA sequencer computer at home

why dont lab tech companies sell machines priced roughly 500 USD to anyone who asks and pays for it?
and that machine would be a closed-in system where you put in cellular materia and it then extracts DNA from
complete DNA data is then represented as a savefile that can be opened in Windows or Linux PC for further study
hint: you put in human skin cell in there and then you know persons entire DNA
the poorest people ever cannot buy even 500 USD appliance but anyone with 500 USD smartphone can save a few months to buy DNA computer as well, they obviously have somekind of job
in addition someone could simply buy a device that costs 10 000 USD with loan money if he can find clients who are willing to pay him 100 USD or something to get someones DNA onto computer
you just need a few hundred clients then
you cant ask too much for this kind of stuff from those shady clients either

I bought 23andMe.com for $500,000,000 at auction. I already have everyone's DNA.

DNA determines shitposting attributes. AI does the rest.

Automated sample preparation (just put in some skin cells, dude) would make such models pretty expensive as it got to perform several preparation steps before a readout is feasible. Not even considering the possiblity of contaminations yet. Prior use of standard DNA purification kits (costs the kit and a decent desktop centrifuge) might push down costs of a sequencer considerably.

It is often quite overpriced because there are so few manufacturers.
