USB-sized DNA sequencer is error-prone, but still useful
Science Focus
original post »Nearly three years ago, a company called Oxford Nanopore made waves when it announced the development of DNA sequencing technology that was simple and compact enough to fit on a USB stick. The intervening years have been filled with product delays and apparent problems with read accuracy. This morning, however, a paper is being released that relies on the technology, and while the technology still has problems, it can help provide some medically relevant information.
Most methods of studying DNA perform what's called "sequencing by synthesis." They make a new copy of the DNA strand being sequenced, keeping track of which base is added to each location. This is highly effective, but it requires the use of consumables: each base added has to be supplied to the reaction, as does the enzyme that does the adding. All of this adds to the cost of the sequencing reaction, and it places a limit on how cheap we can make the process of sequencing a genome.
Oxford Nanopore's method is fundamentally different. Instead of adding new bases, the DNA strand to be sequenced is stuffed through a protein with a hole in the middle. As each base passes through this pore, its electrical properties are read, allowing the hardware to determine which base is going by. Although the pore will have a finite lifetime, the process doesn't need any specialized chemicals or enzymes and therefore has the potential to be very cheap.

Monogram - Enlarged Region of The Omega Nebula Sticker
Here's a great sheet of stickers featuring a beautiful image from deep space
tagged with: stars, galaxies, astronomy, universe, outer space, envelope sealers, eroton, galaxies stars, gas clouds, star forming activity, green hydrogen, omega nebula m17, ultraviolet radiation, young massive stars, monogram initials, blue oxygen, red sulpher
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series Like the fury of a raging sea, this bubbly ocean of glowing hydrogen, oxygen, and sulphur gas lies in the extremely massive and luminous molecular nebula Messier 17.
This Hubble photograph captures a small region within Messier 17 (M17), a hotbed of star formation. M17, also known as the Omega or Swan Nebula, is located about 5500 light-years away in the Sagittarius constellation.
Ultraviolet radiation is carving and heating the surfaces of cold hydrogen gas clouds and the warmed surfaces glow orange and red. The intense heat and pressure causes some material to stream away from the surface, creating the glowing veil of even hotter green-coloured gas that masks background structures. The colours in the image represent various gases. Red represents sulphur; green, hydrogen; and blue, oxygen.

In one of the most detailed astronomical images ever produced, NASA/ESA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an unprecedented look at the Orion Nebula. ... This extensive study took 105 Hubble orbits to complete. All imaging instruments aboard the telescope were used simultaneously to study Orion. The Advanced Camera mosaic covers approximately the apparent angular size of the full moon.

NASAs SN1994D Nebula Print
Here's a great poster featuring a beautiful image from deep space

Supernova discoveries are reported to the International Astronomical Union's Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams, which sends out a circular with the name it assigns to it. The name is the year of discovery, immediately followed by a one or two-letter designation. The first 26 supernovae of the year are designated with a capital letter from A to Z. Afterward pairs of lower-case letters are used: aa, ab, and so on.[36] Since 2000, professional and amateur astronomers find several hundreds of supernovae each year (572 in 2007, 261 in 2008, 390 in 2009). For example, the last supernova of 2005 was SN 2005nc, indicating that it was the 367th[nb 1] supernova found in 2005.[37][38] Historical supernovae are known simply by the year they occurred: SN 185, SN 1006, SN 1054, SN 1572 (Tycho's Nova) and SN 1604 (Kepler's Star). Since 1885 the letter notation has been used, even if there was only one supernova discovered that year (e.g. SN 1885A, 1907A, etc.)—this last happened with SN 1947A. "SN", for SuperNova, is a standard prefix. Until 1987, two-letter designations were rarely needed; since 1988, however, they have been needed every year.
