AI Thread Summary
Designing a DNA chip for use in a microfluidic chamber involves several critical parameters. Key considerations include the chip's ability to detect unknown genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and cancerous cells, focusing on functionality with known DNA sequences. The design should prioritize minimizing the volume of patient blood required while maximizing detection efficiency. The integration of the chip within a PDMS chamber is essential for effective cell analysis. Resources, such as instructional videos on DNA chip functionality, can provide valuable insights into the design process.

May I know how to design the DNA chip? What are the basic parameter I have to consider? The DNA chip will be used in microfluidic chamber for cells analysis.

Thanks

Design of a DNA chip for detection of unknown genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
 
Detection for example cancerous cells. the chip is functionalism with know DNA. below is a short video link on how the DNA chip works.

The chip that I am using now is placed inside the PDMS chamber. I want to know how to design the DNA chip in order to save patient blood and have high output detection efficiency.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
