I remember seeing an article about this in New Scientist. I didn't bother to read it at the time because I was kinda half-asleep, but it definitely looked cool.

Wait, it's still 2012 right? That seems more like Star Trek technology.

Yeah, CSI's treatment of instant DNA results is coming true. Yesterday one of my lecturers shared this little development with us. A company called Nanopore
, has announced that they'd developed a new way of sequencing DNA. They claim it can sequence a sample in fifteen minutes.
Admittedly I don't think it's been independently tested yet (they announced this all only a couple of weeks ago).
So soon DNA will be as easily determined as fingerprints. Seems they're aiming for all G Ps and even patrolling police officers.
I'm both awed and kind of scared.
