Bioinformatics is one of the application areas we thought this might be useful! I've chatted with a few, and it appears the applications right _now_ might be more limited due to the need for exact matches. It's something we are thinking about for the future, and think it could be useful.

There may also be some applications for this in NLP. I'm chatting with a professor who thought this could help speed up some old algorithms that weren't scalable before.
