NIST simulates fast, accurate DNA sequenci...

Such devices are already made, in the real life.

 

In this article in Nature was anounced a pocket sized DNA sequencer.

It was a pocked sized usb device, that can read DNA, made from Nanoporetech

Here is their device:

It was discussed in the Longecity forum some time ago.

These devices, relying at squeezing a DNA molecule through a tiny hole were supposed to have 4% error rate, which soon had to be decreased to 1%

The last year I asked what is the progress, but I didn't get an answer.

P.S.

I don't think, that the DNA sequencing will make us immortal or ageless.

I follow this development because of mind food interest.

 

Focus on stem cells.

No matter if you know your genome or not, they can make you immortal.
