Default Intel attaches itself to blockchain

Looking at ways to use the energy

Chipzilla is looking at ways to use the energy expended during cryptocurrency mining for the sequencing of genetic data.



In the patent application, first filed June 2016 and released by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Intel's Ned Smith and Rajesh Poornachandran describe a type of computer called a sequence mining platform (SMP) which would identify the order or nucleobases in a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA).

For those who have forgotten their sixth form biology, nucleobases are the molecules that make up DNA and RNA and cotain the genetic information. The order of these bases determines what physical traits a person, plant or animal features.

The patent application notes that the SMP would use a nucleobase sequencing unit to actually establish the order of nucleobases which would then be verified by the blockchain before being permanently recorded on it.
