Ohio State University researchers have come up with a modified molecular combing technique for creating arrays of stretched DNA molecules that could have applications in nanoelectronics, biological or chemical sensors, and genetic analysis and medical diagnosis.
By patterning a large quantity of stretched DNA molecules into a well-defined array of nanowires, parallel and automated analysis may be realized to achieve higher throughput and reliability, they believe.
