Portable DNA sequencer

A portable DNA sequencer is a compact device that can analyze genetic material on-site, without the need for bulky laboratory equipment. It works by reading the sequences of DNA—essentially the instructions for building and maintaining living organisms. These handheld devices enable rapid results, making them useful for various applications, such as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and even field research in wildlife. With the ability to perform sequencing in real-time, they provide valuable insights into genetics in accessible and diverse settings, promoting advances in healthcare and biological research.
