The lack of control I would have over the data trail is why I&#x27;ve never used any of these services. Since I&#x27;ve never used them, I&#x27;m not really sure what&#x27;s under the hood in terms of user experience and underlying technology.<p>So here&#x27;s an uninformed question:<p>Is there a hope in hell we could ever have &quot;air-gapped&quot; genetic testing at home?

I&#x27;m glad I read Next by Michael Crichton, or I might never have heard the story of Henrietta Lacks.<p>Not that I&#x27;ve had the need luckily but I&#x27;ve been wary of having so much as a blood test since then.

If I can&#x27;t download my Proton mail data without jumping through hoops no way someone is gonna make it easy to get something valuable like DNA (even a useless one like mine lol)
