Genetic Gatekeepers: Biosensors Revolutionizing DNA Sequencing
Author(s): Cameron Harper*
Biosensors have emerged as revolutionary tools in the field of gene sequencing, offering unparalleled capabilities in terms of speed, accuracy, and efficiency. Gene sequencing, the process of determining the precise order of nucleotides within a gene or an entire genome, is fundamental to understanding genetic variation, hereditary diseases, and evolutionary relationships. Biosensors, with their ability to integrate biological recognition elements with transducing platforms, have transformed the way we analyze genetic information, paving the way for breakthroughs in genomics and personalized medicine.
At the heart of biosensors lies the synergy between biological recognition elements and transducers, which convert biochemical signals into measurable outputs. In gene sequencing applications, these recognition elements typically comprise nucleic acid probes, such as D.. Read More»
