gollark: Probably just something something n-grams.
gollark: The somewhat-naive way would be a bit slow if you have a *lot* of them, but there are definitely algorithms for doing this quicker somehow.
gollark: I'm pretty sure that if you have a list of the DNA/RNA of all known viruses you can probably filter out close matches to them fairly easily.
gollark: Really? I assumed you could just check Levenshtein distance from known viruses or something.
gollark: Can you somehow just sequence whatever DNA/RNA gets caught *automatically*?
