And they already need a lot of engineers and software developers, both to create and maintain them.
So yes, for these two categories of professionals the future is bright indeed.

Oh, human and orangutan DNA is very easy to explain:
some human collected the biosamples, while a specially trained orangutan performed simple sequencing steps.
(As you probably realize, orangutan labor is still much cheaper than human.)

Seriously though, that specific fragment which was auto-detected as orangutan is simply identical to human one,
but orangutan was somehow sorted above human… Don’t ask how that happened, I’m fearing the answer myself…

some scaffolds contain orangutan and human DNA

(o_O) Wat?!?! I’m simultaneously curious and afraid to hear how that came about.
