        These 54 million samples of DNA could have a very significant value of an AI program was used to sort out those with faulty or disease genes, also, an interesting study on anthropology of these masses could be performed. How many are related to Genghis Khan?pic.twitter.com/OZTnyNPdWY

        They have three times the population of the USA, wouldn’t it make sense for them to have three times the samples?
