Pooling Designs for DNA Code Validation


ABSTRACT:
We describe a random group testing method used to design laboratory experiments to validate a DNA code. A DNA code is a collection of synthetic DNA strands closed under complementation. DNA codes serve as universal components for biomolecular computing and biomolecular nanotechnology and also have been used in other areas of molecular biology (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, gene expression profiling and DNA microarray development).
