The DNA Sequencing related techs seem to advancing even faster than Semiconductor techs.

I used to work for Applied-biosystem to work on their 2nd gen DNA sequencer ~1996. At that time, sequence the human genome cost ~$1 billion. Today it is < $1000.

At that speed, in 10-20 years. They might be able to sequence all the virus in your blood and provide real time info about them with the latest Apple Watch. :-)

Still have doubt? Take a look at what high school kid (lady) did to detect ebola....
