Wow I never thought of this. I understand all the controversy over 23&me and DNA secrecy, but it seems pretty soon it'll be trivial to run DNA anywhere anytime.
I'm wondering about the impacts of cheap/accessible DNA sequencing in the future. Not just impacts to existing businesses, but what does it mean from a privacy perspective? If someone could take a strand of your hair and then get your genome sequence from it - what would be the implications?
In the long future: total loss of privacy and identity as meaningful concepts.
I was wondering if this would be a solution to the privacy issue that surrounds 23andMe. I would gladly pay a significant amount above $99 (or whatever 23andMe charges) for an offline version of DNA insights.
