A real catalyst would be to couple a sequencer to digitize the DNA together with a matter compiler to output real DNA from the digital DNA representation

Why? craft software to grow the organism in a biologically plausible manner in simulation from the digital DNA... then expose evolutionary pressure to this growth to evolve the DNA in simulation into a more value added organism

real organism --> sequence it's DNA into digital DNA --> evolve the DNA in simulation software --> output real DNA from digital DNA --> insert this evolved real DNA into a real cell to clone an organism now with enhanced attributes

if you can perfectly simulate cell, drugs researchers will pay crazy money.
