Towards fast solid state DNA sequencing

The current most widely used method for DNA sequencing is the chain termination method or Sanger technique. Many attempts are being made to improve upon this method particularly with regard to the elimination of the latter stage of electrophoresis. Using the ion sensitive field effect transistor and low power signal processing techniques, the possibility of intelligent solid state DNA sequencing is explored.
