Fast DNA sequencing.

Abstract:

:A method for fast nucleotide sequencing is described. It is based in the selection of well-known small oligomers able to be hybridized with the unknown target. The selected oligomers are afterwards ordered following a simple statistical approach. The use of capillary electrophoresis for the analysis is emphasized.

  • The inevitable rise of mediocrity in academic medicine.

    abstract::The present analysis addresses the question of how it has been possible for academic medicine to grow and lose its creative productivity at the same time. A mathematical model is developed to simulate the mechanisms that govern growth of medical systems over time. Time-dependent growth of system size increases the occ...
