Unfortunate side affect: loss of vertical leap ability
Seriously, this is great news. Debilitating genetic diseases like this Tay Saks, Huntingtons, etc. should begin to fall given new genetics technology. We understand gene sequencing. We have to do the detailed maping. After that, the challenge is protein modeling which requires 1,000x improvement in computation to simulate amd model the protein folding. So 10 years of Moore's Law from 1998 says yjay protein sequencing will be routine late this decade.
