heralding a new sequencing technology of unparalleled throughput. To enable parallel sequencing, the authors used a chip with thousands of nanoscale wells containing an immobilized DNA polymerase ...

In 2006 Paul Rothemund of the California Institute of Technology 'folded' DNA to create two-dimensional shapes ranging from a basic rectangle to a personable smiley face (Rothemund, 2006).

The technology works by growing unique strands ... The structures on the chip used to grow the DNA are called microwells and are a few hundred nanometres deep - less than the thickness of a ...

Through these single mutations in DNA, you can spot those people at risk of developing a disease and do something about it early, even before the disease manifests itself. These tests are only ...

The technology is exceedingly powerful ... More information: Andrew A. Perez et al, ChIP-DIP maps binding of hundreds of proteins to DNA simultaneously and identifies diverse gene regulatory ...
