I applaud the finical risk the lab took. If they had failed overturn anything significant, then the lab very well might have gone under. Very few researchers take big risks such as this out of fear of not being able to publish anything because nothing could be identified in the data.
But the lab succeeded, and now we have an example that DNA/RNA sequencing may be useful for the treatment of cancer. Not only that but it sounds like we learned something about a particular strain of Leukemia afflicting at least one person, but probably several more. I am sure the Drug company/ies are relived to discover that their drug might be useful for treating other types of cancer.
