Yeah. I'd want a system that could sequence 100 or 1000 nuclei and
mitochondria from all over the body, screen out the noise and damage on a
majority vote basis, and compile the corrected genome. Then throw it away
and start again with a version deleting most of the junk and optimizing the
inherited idiosyncratic alleles by reference to the gene pool's best bets.
