Also turns out I probably had a zinc deficiency leading to low testosterone. After years of working with my doctor to troubleshoot fatigue, I think I may have found and fixed at least part of the issue myself thanks to SiPhox.

Yeah, it's not easy or cheap - at least $1000 per nanopore run and many hours of lab work to prepare. Lately I've found it far more practical to send my amplified & quantified samples to plasmidsaurus.com for sequencing (~$50 ea).

Yes! I dream of a day when regular checkups will include a broad antibody profile like in this research: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC....
VirScan: High-throughput Profiling of Antiviral Antibody Epitopes
Profiling the specificities of antibodies can reveal a wealth of information about humoral immune responses and the antigens they target. Here, we present a protocol for VirScan, an application of the phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP-Seq) ...
