Perhaps silly question as you’ve probably written about this before, have you tried getting people to (with you blinded) dump both natural and engineered DNA in wastewater in different quantities at random times to see how good your system is at picking it up?
Not a silly question, and not something where I think we’ve talked about plans publicly yet. Some sort of red-teaming is something I’d like to see us do in the second half of 2025. Most likely starting with fully computational spike-ins (much cheaper, faster to iterate on) and then real engineered viral particles.
