I don't want to sequence at home. But I do want to sequence it using a third-party that gives me all the raw data. I live in Europe and I'm just a simple consumer. Does anyone know how I can do this? What service would I use / you can recommend? Them not keeping it on their side would be a huge bonus of course but not sure I can ask for that much.
Can CRISPR also be done at home this cheaply? Seems like maybe of the 3 dystopias: AI, Global Warming, Bio-warfare. That this is demonstrating that the home grown virus is closer than we think.

I feel it's actually kind of smart. Most people won't be reading the blog post themselves, they'd ask GPT to understand the text and fetch the summary or whatever is relevant to them. The author has directly made the resource such that it is optimised for the output after that mostly-everyone-would-do-this step.
What a sad reality we live in. Or to quote C3PO from Star Wars 2... "Machines building machines. How perverse.".
I've bee thinking about starting a company where I fish roots out of your sewer and identify the plant (by sequence if necessary) that you have to kill so your sewer doesn't collapse as soon as it otherwise would. $100 to stave off that $10000 sewer replacement for a few years would be worth it to a lot of people
That’s a really clever idea, I would definitely pay for that in the right circumstances. Now that I think about it - could you just pour some sort of biodegradable broad-spectrum herbicide down the drain to get the same effect for cheaper?
It will not degrade anywhere near fast enough to not cause serious issues in the biological treatment stage of the wastewater plant.

Sequencing dot com. TellmeGen DNA Complete. Unless you live in Germany (in Germany it seems to be illegal to send saliva to other countries).
Can you get raw data from Tellmegen? Can't seem to find any info on this on their website.

These companies focus on environmental DNA - some are more on the level of local government monitoring, some are for private customers.

TellMeGen has a lifelong update, I guess they store your data to do that.

Why must it be long-read? The info I want is from nearly identical duplicated genes. I have FASTQ and BAM files from Dante Labs, but wasn't able to get the info I want out of them.

What does "lifelong update" mean in this context? are they not doing whole genome sequencing to begin with?
