Apple presented the firm's DNA/RNA sequencing technology as a companion platform that can run on Apple devices equipped with its new M3 silicon chips, supporting biological insights in scientific research, health, agriculture and industry.
Pairing the M3 chip-enabled products with the firm's sequencing devices can enable more global communities to access faster, richer biological data, powered by the latest machine learning technology, said Oxford Nanopore.
"We are incredibly proud to be showcased by Apple as a complementary technology that can seamlessly integrate with Apple's new silicon chips, which is even faster and more powerful to support real-time nanopore DNA/RNA sequencing, " said CEO Gordon Sanghera in a statement.
"Powered by Apple's M3 silicon chips, we are one step closer to achieving our vision of enabling the analysis of anything by anyone, anywhere by making it possible for more scientists around the world to access real-time, data rich DNA/RNA insights with only a MinION or P2 Solo and an iMac or Macbook Pro."
Apple's new M3 chips' compute capacity can process thousands of inputs at once and in real time, which is similar to processing 6,000 conversations with Siri simultaneously.
