How a DNA sequencing machine uses computer technology to make testing fast

How a DNA sequencing machine uses computer technology to make testing fast California-based Ion Torrent’s DNA machine uses chemistry and semiconductor technology to deliver fast results. Researchers can run samples, go for a coffee break and come back a few hours later. SmartPlanet’s Boonsri Dickinson visits Ion Torrent to find out how its portable DNA machine could impact genetic testing.
