Finally, combined with DNA chip technology, the protocol allows for efficient combinatorial screening applications, and this approach would also pave the way for systematic analysis of drug ...

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 ...
