It's rather cool that this guy was able to do it himself. But it cost him more than if he got an outside lab to do it for him. Maybe it's worth the premium not to have his DNA in a federal law enforcement database. Pretty soon I'd be willing to bet you'd need to run your llm locally if that was your primary concern.

The main issue is there really no good way to take an action based on a manually sequenced genome like this right now, with a few exceptions.

It's good to know what can be done at home with reasonable costs for the hardware and software, but one should not expect this to produce somethign that will change your life for the better.
