They didn’t say what they were testing for. You can do a binary do you have DNA or not test to see if you are in fact a robot or not. All you need is soap and alcohol.
This thread made me look into the idea of DIYing it, and one of the search results I found looks like it legitimately is about actually doing the sequencing yourself:
$800 in 2016 was steep enough, but at the $1600 it apparently costs today I’m not sure it’s still within the realm of DIY, if it ever really was. I wonder if there are any cheaper competitors?
That allows visualization of PCRed product, which is a far cry from whole genome sequencing. You can visualize a target at a time with no sequence info. Using it for sequences would be extremely tedious and require a lot of runs.
Yup, I used to do PCR genotyping. 50 samples running the same setup would take me a whole 12-hour day at my lower end lab.
I can’t imagine having to do 50 different ones with 50 different templates and having to adjust each one. 😅 And that’s for 50 sequences. How many are there in a human?
You can do your own dna testing at home now anyways
You still have to send it somewhere, at home kits are just about collecting the sample not sequencing it.
Now imagine, the person you responded to, is allowed to vote.

Drinking soap makes my stomach upset and drinking alcohol makes me upset, that means I’m a human right?
Any robot I can get drunk with is alright by me

About 25,000 coding sequences and a lot more non-coding.
