2008-08-22 20:06:37 by Michael in Medgadget
...DNAs and other molecules. This is not the first time we are reporting about the efforts to commercialize nanopore channels as DNA sequencing sites, since scientists have known for a while now about the ability of these channels to interact with translocating molecules, and "report" their molecular structure. (Check out the flashbacks below...

2008-03-14 08:00:01 by Kapa Lenkov in Medgadget
...DNA molecules have been around for a long time. However, they are slow, expensive and not particularly easy to transport. Although we have heard of particularly avid scientists carrying around PCR machines in their luggage, Samuel Afuwape of National University at San Diego thinks that an ion-selective field-effect transistor might take up a...
