Why do zebras have stripes?

Now, would this work for humans? Tattoo parlors take note.

Brian & Kyle,
Please be respectful of others. If you ever post to Blabber, I hope it will be 50% as informative as Bobby's posts. Shine on, Bobby!
Respectfully,

Thank you Alberto – agreed.
Bobby has done a lot to help organize the physical space and is a passionate lover of all things science. Anyone who has been to HacDC on Monday or Thursday has almost certainly met him.
Thanks for this opportunity to give a shout out,
Karen

Thanks for clarifying, everyone. Didn’t mean to be disrespectful. Sorry about that. Bobby’s name wasn’t on the original emails I was looking at so wasn’t sure who it was. They had a link and a very small amount of text. Thought it might be a spam bot. Wasn’t sure what vampire finches had to do with HacDC.

Thanks for the note, Kyle!
And as for vampire finches, as Karen put it, Bobby (like many of us) "is passionate lover of all things science." So birds which have coevolved with gut microflora a way to wring nutrition from blood meals qualifies as fascinating. ;-)

Don't discourage people from speaking freely about me just because you
think it might be disrespectful - especially when it's true (I am
hyperactive)!

TL:dr So will this predict if I will die within 15 years, or will it be able to predict within 15 years whether I will die?

A human X chromosome has been sequenced from telomere (terminal repeat)-to-telomere. That may not sound new, since the human genome sequence was announced nearly 2 decades ago, but it still contains lots of gaps, particularly in troublesome repetitive regions. More technical advances are required to truly finish the human genome (note that every human genome is different).

From the article:
The use of the term "eDNA" is cringe.
Otherwise, it's interesting that Genome processing has become sufficiently cheap for this approach.
