Cloning or
amplification
processes are
not necessary.
The original
template is not
destroyed.
Eliminates
sequencing
reaction
processing and
electrophoresis.
Promises huge savings in
time, labor, and
cost per base.
VisiGen
Biotechnologies,
Inc. is
engineering
DNA
polymerases
and
nucleoside
triphosphates
to
function
as
direct
molecular
sensors
of DNA
base
identity.
Single-molecule detection, fluorescent
molecule chemistry, computational biochemistry, and genetic engineering of
biomolecules, are combined to create this novel sequencing system.
