"We believe that the clues to understanding autism lie in that genome," Rob Ring, Autism Speaks' chief science officer, told WIRED. "We'd like to leverage the same kind of technology and approach to searching the internet every day to search into the genome for these missing answers."
The project will make use of Google Genomics, a tool launched by the company several months ago with little fanfare on Google's Cloud Platform. As sequencing the human genome becomes ever-faster and cheaper---Ring says it can be done for about $2,500, compared to nearly $3 billion for the Human Genome Project---the volume of genetic data generated by researchers has grown astronomically. By allowing researchers to dump that data onto its servers, Google gets to show off and improve the capabilities of its cloud while providing a potentially important service.
They will surely use this to genocide autists like Iceland does to downies.

Unironically I pay more attention to jinxschizo videos than most news articles I post here. Schizos are at least interesting.

Maybe they'll reverse enginer it so they can give us all autism (maybe through a vaccine or something)

Zillionaires have been trying to find a genetic link to autism since forever, and failed.
Because autism is an injury from the aluminum adjuvants in vaccines given to infants for diseases preventable with basic sanitation measures. But we are not allowed to spend zillions of dollars telling every parent in the world they injured their children on the advice of the government.
