New DNA Technology and the DNA Biosensor |
|
| Abstract: | Abstract Recently there has been an increasing demand to produce systems for the detection of specific DNA sequences that are amenable to non-specialised laboratories. This demand has led to many innovative and novel approaches to DNA analysis which may collectively be termed ′new DNA technology′. Here, we review these advances in relation to their applicability for the production of a DNA biosensor. The present state of the art is described and future possibilities are considered. |
