Came in here for this.
Being able to do this at all is challenging, but building something the size of a bread machine that can be operated by anyone and maintains sterility on its own is something else.

The article doesn’t seem to be selling any particular technology, but rather sharing information on the fact that the research is currently in progress.
The concept of identifying risk factors via blood sample has always been a good one. I’m not a scientist or medical professional, so I just assume the reason we’re not sequencing everyone’s genome is that it’s not currently a good use of medical resources. I can’t recall the name of this woman or her product, but my recollection is that she was claiming something currently impossible, not theoretically impossible.

They don’t name the exact study but this research is related: www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-52310-9

I think the study they reference is the UK Biobank itself, which is ongoing.

Of course not. Just pointing out that it’s probably bullshit just like previous similar claims. The exact thing its making fun of.
