DNA Structure And Developments In Constructing Biochip Systems

DNA structure and its analysis is central to modern approaches to constructing biochip systems. In contrast to traditional hybridization assays, which utilize flexible membranes such a nitrocellulose and nylon, radioactivity, and autoradiography, microarray or biochip, assays utilize solid surfaces such as glass with fluorescent labeling and detection. Compared to the macroscopic format of filter-based [...]

Genomic Revolution

Genomics is operationally defined as investigations into the structure and function of very large numbers of genes undertaken in a simultaneous manner. The market for genomic technology is expected to rise at an annual growth rate at 23% accumulating US$34bn by 2005.
