Back in 2012, a UK company called Oxford Nanopore announced a chewing gum packet-sized DNA sequencer, something that people found hard to believe since rival machines can be as big as fridges.

The MinION USB gene sequencer, plugged into a laptop Some researchers are claiming that they are only getting about 65 to 80% accuracy out of the device.

In exchange for a $1,000 deposit, they got a MinION and a regular supply of flow cells—the disposable wafers that drive the sequencer, each containing 512 nanopores.

A MinION sequencer (Joshua Quick) The MinION uses a technique called nanopore sequencing, which involves a donut-shaped protein whose hole is just a billionth of a meter wide—a nanopore.

The product will be called the MinIon and it will plug into a USB port on a computer. Using the sequencer and some sort of enzyme solution, prepared samples can be applied to the sequencer and ...
