Hybridization to surface-bound oligonucleotide probes: Influence of point defects [PDF]
Microarray-based genotyping is based on the high discrimination capability of oligonucleotide probes. For detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) single-base discrimination is required. We investigate how various point-mutations, comprising single base mismatches (MMs), insertions and deletions, affect hybridization of DNA-DNA ...

Power-law Signatures and Patchiness in Genechip Oligonucleotide Microarrays [PDF]
. Genechip oligonucleotide microarrays have been used widely for transcriptional profiling of a large number of genes in a given paradigm. Gene expression estimation precedes biological inference and is given as a complex combination of atomic entities on the array called probes.

Microarray detection of human parainfluenzavirus 4 infection associated with respiratory failure in an immunocompetent adult. [PDF]
A pan-viral DNA microarray, the Virochip (University of California, San Francisco), was used to detect human parainfluenzavirus 4 (HPIV-4) infection in an immunocompetent adult presenting with a life-threatening acute respiratory illness.

The formation of stable clusters of gold nanoparticles with oligonucleotides at different solution conditions is explored. DNA base homogeneity and strand directionality influence the binding with gold nanoparticles leading to interesting clustering behavior that can be relevant for SERS applications.

Artificial DNA Lattice Fabrication by Non-Complementarity and Geometrical Incompatibility [PDF]
Fabrication of DNA nanostructures primarily follows two fundamental rules. First, DNA oligonucleotides mutually combine by Watson-Crick base pairing rules between complementary base sequences. Second, the geometrical compatibility of the DNA oligonucleotide must match for lattices to form. Here we present a fabrication scheme of DNA nanostructures with

Cooperative Hybridization of Oligonucleotides
Nucleic acids have been demonstrated to be versatile nanoscale engineering materials with the construction of dynamic DNA structures, motors, and circuits. These constructions generally rely on the clever use and integration of relatively few reaction mechanisms and design primitives.

Exploring DNA Functionalization Techniques for Silver Nanoparticles
This study evaluates four functionalization methods—salt‐aging, pH‐assisted, freezing‐directed, and microwave‐assisted—for attaching DNA strands to 20 nm silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The resulting DNA‐AgNP conjugates are characterized and colloidal stability and DNA loading are assessed.

Modification and Patterning of Thiolate‐Anchored Self‐Assembled Monolayers with UV Light
This paper reviews the relevant work regarding the modification and patterning of thiolate‐anchored self‐assembled monolayers with UV light. Performed alone or in combination with a subsequent exchange reaction, introducing specific molecular substituents, this approach enables the preparation of functional binary SAMs and the creation of complex ...
