[Noisebridge-discuss] Bio Hackers and geniuses, I want to use electronics to work with dna somehow

[William Heath]

Hi Rigel,

Here is what I understand about DNA chips etc...:

DNA actually has a certain resistance and it is possible to measure that.  I
am also interested in automating DNA experiments the way the genome was
decoded.  I am curious how to do this.  Anyway does that help you to
understand more of what I am talking about?  The inkjet idea is way cool
though!
