Temporal Navigator
University in Canada got a hold of a Genome Sequencer
there is about less than 50 in the world.

It could be described as a DNA time machine, where
it produces 20 Million raw bases within 5 and 1/2 hours.
Producing this amount of information could have taken
years without this technology.

This Photocopier if you wanna call it that runs at about $750,000!

Specifically, the genome sequencer reads and analyzes DNA bases,
at a speed scientists had never previously imagined.
A large mammal such as a human might have 2.8 billion base pairings.
