RE: The SmidgION: A portable DNA sequencer that runs on an Iphone
DNA sequencing technology is getting so small, so portable... really the progress that has been made in the past decade is nothing short of remarkable. As gimicky as this product may seem, it may enable quick screening by physicians in third world countries, and increase the quality of healthcare across the globe! Its certainly significantly more economical then purchasing a full sequencer... especially for poorer locations.
That's very true. And since smart phones are ubiquitous, there isn't a need to buy an expensive computer as well.
