This will blow your mind: the two largest outsourcing sequence as a service for govt, academia, and research businesses are both owned by China. They claim to be competitors, but they're owned and operated by the same incestuous bunch.

And they're literally propped up by China in a limitless market. Their business savvy is so bad.

But yeah, why the gene sequencing? One theory is that you can use DNA to construct facial models for recognition software and tracking. No lie. Thats what creeps me out the most.

Check out the NIH Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) plans for the next decade. They came out with it last year. Its a little... much. Front page tho.
