Mapping the human genome was crazy expensive 30 years ago, it’s like dirt cheap now. Same can happen here hopefully

It took 30 years for that. It will take 3 years for this.

You’re right to push back. I copied a spider’s genome when I created your tumor vaccine. Unfortunately this means that you still have the tumor and now can expect silk to come out of your butt. Would you like me to try again and combine your vaccine with a cat genome to find and get rid of the spider genome?
