Carbon nanotubes show promise for high-speed genetic sequencing
Friday, January 1, 2010 - 08:35
in Biology & Nature
Faster sequencing of DNA holds enormous potential for biology and medicine, particularly for personalised diagnosis and customised treatment based on each individual's genomic makeup. At present however, sequencing technology remains cumbersome and cost prohibitive for most clinical applications, though this may be changing, thanks to a range of innovative new techniques...
