The system is a benchtop, solid-state, high-density DNA array fabrication instrument composed of a maskless light projector, a reaction chamber, a personal computer, and a DNA synthesizer.

A multidisciplinary team of pharmaceutics and computer-science researchers at the University at Buffalo, one of very few teams in the nation applying DNA microarray technology in studies of multiple ...

DNA microarrays bring much potential. Currently, disease prevention and treatment are not precisely tailored to everyone’s variability in genes, internal and external environments, and lifestyle.

Furthermore, our electrostatic detection technique should render DNA and RNA microarrays sufficiently cost effective for broad world-health applications, as well as research." ...

Takara Bio Inc., a biotechnology company in Otsu, Japan, has developed a system which allows for mass production of a wide variety of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fragments needed to make DNA ...

Furthermore, our electrostatic detection technique should render DNA and RNA microarrays sufficiently cost effective for broad world-health applications, as well as research." ...

The DNA copy that is made, called complementary DNA (cDNA), is then applied to the microarray. The cDNA binds to complementary base pairs in each of the spots on the array, a process known as ...

Launched in 1990, The Human Genome Project was a monumental effort to sequence and analyze the entire human genome to understand how genetics influence health. While the Human Genome Project helped ...

The microarray is assembled by spotting cDNA samples onto a solid substrate such as a glass microscope slide. Spots are 80 to 150 mm in diameter and placed at 100 nm intervals.
