Isigaba socwaningo seMicrosoft sakha ubuchwepheshe obuvumela ukugcinwa kwemininingwane edijithali ezintweni zokwenziwa zofuzo. Umsebenzi obonakala ngathi uvela esikhathini esizayo esikude ubonakala uphila ngenkampani iTwist Bioscience, umnikeli womqondo wokuqala futhi abasebenza naye ndawonye.
I-Twist Bioscience iyinkampani esencane, umphumela we qalisa, okuqondiswe embonini nokusetshenziswa kwe-DNA yokwenziwa. Lolu cwaningo lubandakanya neNyuvesi yaseWashington, ehlela ngokuhlanganyela ukwazi ukugcina izigidi zedatha kuma-microns ambalwa ngosayizi.
Inhloso yale ndlela ikabili. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukufaka ikhodi ku-DNA kuzovumela hlanganisa inani elikhulu lemininingwane esikhaleni esincane impela, futhi sikhuluma ngento encane kunosayizi weseli. Futhi, lolu hlobo lokusekelwa lungakwazi yeqa isikhathi esilinganiselwe semidiya yesitoreji samanje, ngoba isakhi sofuzo sinokuphila okulinganiselwa ezinkulungwaneni zeminyaka.
Ngokuphathelene nenani lemininingwane elingagcinwa kuzakhi zofuzo, ngokusho kososayensi baseyunivesithi, kungaba mayelana Ama-terabyte angama-700 kugremu elilodwa nje, kodwa ngamagama we-CEO yenkampani iTwist Bioscience: «Ngokusetshenziswa kwe-DNA, lonke ulwazi lweplanethi lungangena ngaphakathi esiqwini semoto".
Izindleko zokukhiqiza usebenzisa lolu hlelo azibizi kakhulu, ngoba ukwelashwa kwezakhi zofuzo kwehle kakhulu ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwama-sequencers amakhulu avumile ukusuka ezigidini ezingama-2.700 zamaRandi ukuthola umkhondo owodwa ophelele womuntu ngo-2003 kuze kube manje, lapho kunenketho yokuba nohlobo lwakho lofuzo kuselula ngaphansi kwe- $ 1.000.
Okwamanje, intshisekelo iMicrosoft enayo yokugcina leyo mininingwane ngaphakathi kwemicu emincane ye-DNA ayaziwa, kepha ngokuya ngezici esizichazile, kubonakala sengathi kuzoba isikhathi eside. Noma kunjalo iphrojekthi isisesigabeni sokuqala sentuthuko futhi iyasebenziseka kwezentengiselwano, ngeke kube yiminyaka embalwa lapho singabona eminye yemiphumela yayo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Twist Bioscience isanda kuthola enye encane qalisa lokho kuzokuvumela ukuthi ube nakho konke okudingayo ukwakha ipulatifomu yakho yokukhiqiza ye-DNA ezimele.
