I thought we collectively decided that gene drive was too permanent and uncontrollable to implement? As in, it would be too difficult to contain in one location.

(A central database such as NCBI Pathogens certainly helps though!)

I strongly believe in PulseNet for genomic epidemiology, but if industry wants a semi anonymous genomic epidemiology platform (but less effective than PulseNet), we developed one at UGA. It fits on a raspberry pi and lets partners share encoded genomes without a central database.
