> uncompressed video file 1920x1080 at 3 bytes per pixel and 30 frames per second is 11GB for just one minute of video, and 186MB per second. That's far too big and expensive to stream, and outside of somewhat special circumstances

"changes one-letter misspellings in DNA called point mutations... it could fix misspellings in DNA that cause Tay-Sachs" I don't follow. Tay-Sachs is usually (always?) caused by a frameshift, not a point mutation.
