This is a faster sequencing technology, not a faster gene editing technology.

And the days of gene edited humans have been here for a while now. Gene therapy trials have been running for decades, fda approved in 2017 ish, etc

Faster sequencing will enable faster gene editing turnarounds by faster mutation detection.
