Is there a hope in hell we could ever have "air-gapped" genetic testing at home?

That's something I have also wanted for a long time. I fought the military on collecting my DNA long ago. There was a discussion a long while back and it turned out this is possible but still a hardcore hobby. It's a bit of equipment and work, not something as simple and affordable as a handheld automotive diagnostic tool yet. I would be surprised if a company even made such a thing given how all the corpo's want everyone's data.

One brief thread [1] but I am trying to find the bigger one where a member of HN listed much of the hardware that would be required.
