Think about all the cool hyper targeted marketing that's gonna come out once we link genetic variation to suggestibility and buying behaviors!

Really though, that's not a bullshit thing. Give it 5-10 years.

lol. for what? targeted advertising?

I cant imagine DNA results being sold for anything other than something potentially beneficial to humankind, so no. In fact, I hope they sell it. poo poo if they said the results would be used for research that's more of an incentive to do it.

what's cool is when you have to buy genome data a lot less research gets done because lol if you think funding is easy to get

also it biases things even harder to big labs with big names and big funding regardless of how good or novel their actual output is
