This is an app for DNA analysis.
The DNA sequencer used costs around 1000 usd, and has bluetooth and wifi connectivity.
Any chance for an Android app? Or something open so we can create it ourselves, e.g. OpenDNA?
Is DNA analysis that complicated once you have the raw data?
- acqq 6y agoFor those who didn't know, the mentioned "DNA sequencer" device is the smaller one on this page, the bigger already has a display and its biggest dimension matches iPhone X (but it's thicker and wider) so also relatively pocket-size: https://nanoporetech.com/products/minion-comparison https://nanoporetech.com/products/minion-comparison A new flow cell is needed for every run, pricing for them is in the "Price per flow cell" row. https://nanoporetech.com/products/comparison https://nanoporetech.com/products/comparison
- koeng 6y agoThey’re making the Smidgion which can directly connect to smartphones. The minion needs a USB connection tho, which is the $1000 one. The raw data is actually pretty intense to decode - it took my 4 core i7 processor (2016) about 30 hours to basecall like 3gb of data from a flongle, which normally on minion flow cells you get like 30gb. This can be greatly increased with GPUs, however. Nanopore is very locked down, but data you can share freely.
