PCR NONADAPTIVE GROUP TESTING OF DNALIBRARIES FOR BIOMOLECULAR COMPUTING ANDTAGGANT APPLICATIONS

摘要

Using a universal and parallel battery of PCR reactions, we give a nonadaptive grouptesting method for identifying the individual strands in a pooled sample of several differ-ent DNA sequences taken from a DNA library. The method discussed here has potentialapplications to DNA taggants, DNA memory and DNA computing.
