A Parallel Algorithm for Finding Small Sets of Genes That Are Enough to Distinguish Two Biological States
White Paper GCLASS is an algorithm which explores small samples of two distinct biological states for finding small sets of genes, which form a feature vector that is enough to separate these two states. A typical sample is a set of 60 microarrays, 30 for each... [20 Mar 2008]
IBM to use DNA to shrink chip size
News Most people are acknowledging that DNA and these biological scaffolds are actually quite useful to at least pattern very small systems. Building a DNA scaffold is not trivial because you need the biological system to recognise something that doesn... [21 Feb 2008]
