The is an interesting related opportunity: given a existing desired protein, find its sequence- needed so that you can determine the corresponding genetic sequence so that your custom organism can synthesize the protein.

Protein sequencing is not so easy... very basically you can do it one amino acid at a time based on the fact that amino acids are "sided", meaning side A of each can only connect to side B of the next one. So you attach the end of the protein to some kind of substrate (which can only attach "A" sides), then cut off each amino acid one at a time.

There are some companies in this space:

You don't need to make sequencer - they are exists now and some even affordable to buy for personal use, and exists industry, which run hardware progress.

But their software not good, because they just make first steps into gigabytes world, they have not worked with so large data chunks before, and this is really stellar opportunity.
