IBM DNA Transistor The Future of Genome Sequencing In an effort to build a nanoscale DNA sequencer, IBM scientists are drilling nano-sized holes in computer-like chips and passing DNA strands through them in order to read the information contained within their genetic code. This research effort is to design a silicon-based DNA Transistor that could help pave the way to easily and quickly read human DNA, generating advancements in health condition diagnosis and treatment. The challenge in the effort is to slow the flow of the DNA through the hole so the reader can accurately decode what is in the DNA. If successful, the project could improve throughput and reduce cost to achieve the vision of personalized genome analysis at a cost of $100 to $1,000. In comparison, the first sequencing ever done by the Human Genome Project (HGP) cost $3 billion. A human genome sequencing capability affordable for individuals is the ultimate goal of the DNA sequencing and is commonly referred to as $1,000 genome. Ultimately, it can improve the quality of medical care by identifying patients who will gain the greatest benefit from a particular medicine and those who are most at risk of adverse reactions. http://asmarterplanet.com/

If this technology works and allows sequencing for $1000 or less, about 10x less than current systems, I think it will bring us a step closer to personalised medicine. The simple fact that it could help cut the cost of initial set up and investment, that is a huge barrier to implementing personalised medicine, could make a big difference. Still it's far to early to be wowed yet.

yeah ! this can be used to instantly find out if you are a jew ! it can also prove that niggers are subhuman !

how could u say that? We still need a God until we can create our own universe.......

You're IBM, I bet you considered the implications for biocomputing You could store most of your server data on several DNA molecules and then replicate them endlessly

"So.. this is not a big leap forward" Finally, a level headed top engineer.

I really can't wait for technology like this to reach my labs. Imagine the disorders and disease's genetics that could be identified for the common good, all at a low cost.
