How does a DNA sequencing machine work?

Batman has been using that pocket sized sequencer for decades. I think someone owes DC comics a royalty.

Sooo, even tho she explained it to me, i'mmmmm still not really sure how this works, lmao. But, I'd bet that most people who watched this still have absolutely no idea, lmao. Howeverrrrr, my question is.. whyy don't people get cloned immediately at birth? I mean, wouldn't that save A TON of future health issues?!? Like, say I grow up to be in my mid 20's and end up getting sick which causes kidney failure, or I need a liver or whatever... If I was cloned immediately at birth, wouldn't I very easily be able to use the cloned organs on myself instead of being on a lifelong wait list for an organ?!?

good

how do you sequence something like DNA that is too small to see?

What a scam

Question: Using the Nova Seq, If you had a sample of DNA from a formerly unknown terrestrial species, would you be able to decode the various individual sequences strands as to their function and characteristics?

i hope in future we will be able to built this sequencing machines out with and Arduino only for hobby. That would be amazing.

Would like to see more about DNA collecting, testing principles and methods, and testing, and producing resulting data.

For seven years, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, after long careers in communications and electronics, I was a computer technician with tertiary photographic science and computing qualifications at a research institute for the sugar industry.

With massive changes on the horizon, I discussed with a scientist, who effectively obtainied the DNA of sugar for marketing, the possibility of expanding to human and other DNA testing (such as sugar cane plants).

DNA was then being highly promoted with CSI TV series.

Personal DNA and crime scene investigations have since proliferated.

A local murder in 2013 has become a cold case after a well-known journalist recently demonstrated that DNA testing had been overlooked and/or faulty. That could have been solved, locally!

When I went to the CEO and suggested the institute expand its horizons to other fields, as with another suggestion to extend research to tropical fruit wines, for the institute's viability, the response was a definite negative. (I think he was more interested in fishing and impending retirement!) (The buildings of tge former institute that opened in the late 1940s and closed in 2005, are now a private college!)

Now in my sunset years, if I had my life over, as well as having careers in radio, electronics, computing and teaching, I'd consider forensic science. Hence a quest for in-depth knowledge of the DNA testing process... and to encourage youngsters to consider that career.

Title needs to be changed from “how does a DNA sequencing machine work” to “what does a DNA sequencing machine look like”. How DNA is sequenced was glossed over in a couple of sentences, rather like describing how a car works by saying “you add petrol and press the start button”. Disappointing.

What's the name of the company that makes these machines?

did you know that the first human genome sequencing in 2003 took about 13 years to complete and used about 2 billion dollars in funding? they also needed the equipment of several labs around the world because 1 single machine could not handle it... and now pocket sequencing devices.. isn't it just incredible?!

HOLY shit the future is now, I want that nanopore
sequencer

hearing that machine cost as much as an appartment was shocking... i live in CA can you can buy apartments (or condominiums) for less than $700K even in the bay area... that would be quite cheap for a fridge size box that can sequence dna.

really makes you wonder how much of science as we know it is believable and how much is fraud, i wouldn't be able to proof how the machines work, and nor would a normal person probably have a copy of their specs

Does this portable sequencing technology mean that I could purchase a carry sequencer and actually use it to check my own DNA SEQUENCE(S) from tissue samples of my own blood, saliva and hair?

These all look like photocopiers at first glance

Could you please make another video on how the Oxford nanopore technology minion works. And how accurate is the result. Does it gives result as accurate as other sequencing instruments that we use in the lab?

Nice but incomplete information

no wonder why it's not cheap to read dna

Oh m'y god... This is amazing

Amazing

The genetic sequencing of a cancer patient.. that should highlight damages, right? And, when knowing what sequence needs repair, that would tell you which amino acids the patient is deficient in. Is "curing" cancer actually as simple as getting the proper combination of amino acids that our body might not be able to produce on its own that also can't be found in regular diets..

How much did she say it was ? Lol

I wanna be a student of DNA sequencing 🤓

Excellent, how do I find out the genetics of pigeons.

So.. how does it work?
I think a monkey can figure out that you need to put DNA material in it‽

The interesting thing is I figured out how to clone a dinosaur but I can't figure out genetic engineering.

Overwhelming information but extremly interesting. Tech is moving us so fast into the future.

Can you explain how this is different or similar from next generation sequencing (NGS) ?

How much do you think something like this will cost? When do you think they will be available?
