@article{PATENT, recid = {9096}, title = {Customized oligonucleotide microchips that convert multiple genetic information to simple patterns, are portable and reusable}, number = {PATENT}, month = {Oct}, year = {2002}, abstract = {This invention relates to using customized oligonucleotide microchips as biosensors for the detection and identification of nucleic acids specific for different genes, organisms and/or individuals in the environment, in food and in biological samples. The microchips are designed to convert multiple bits of genetic information into simpler patterns of signals that are interpreted as a unit. Because of an improved method of hybridizing oligonucleotides from samples to microchips, microchips are reusable and transportable. For field study, portable laser or bar code scanners are suitable.}, url = {http://knowledge.uchicago.edu/record/9096}, }
