"This work has mostly been funded by DARPA."
Over the weekend, Alina Chan suggested I should request a check from the Chinese government for tweeting criticism of her. I'd tell her to ask the Pentagon for some cash, but she's already got that covered 😉

Why is the Pentagon interested in human artificial chromosomes? One goal is to "engineer much more complex functionalities into human cell lines than are currently possible," apparently by adding a 47th chromosome into human DNA. (Krishnan, "Military Neuroscience...") 
DARPA is reportedly interested in genetic engineering in order to create "super soldiers" with enhanced capabilities. As should be obvious, if HACs can be used to enhance humans, they can just as easily—actually much more easily—be weaponized against them. wired.com/2012/12/andrew…
Genetic weapon ideas that have been floated include murder via boutique person-specific cancers and slipping bio-weapons into food, water, air and commercial products. The State Dept is already secretly collecting foreign leaders' DNA, for completely benign purposes, I'm sure.
"[I]t was revealed in 2017 that DARPA had invested $100 million in 'gene drive' research, which is involves the use of genetic modification to wipe out entire populations, explaining why it it often referred to as a 'genetic extinction' technology." thelastamericanvagabond.com/coronavirus-gi…
DARPA is also funding research into genetic engineering techniques that would use viruses to insert DNA into specific neurons in order to make humans capable of mind-controlling their weapons. livescience.com/65546-darpa-mi…
