Automation in Proteomics and Genomics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach
Date: Mar 20, 2009
Author: Gil Alterovitz, Roseann Benson, Marco Ramoni
In the last decade DNA sequencing costs have decreased over a magnitude, largely because of increasing throughput by incremental advances in tools, technologies and process improvements. Further cost reductions in this and in related proteomics technologies are expected as a result of the development of new high-throughput techniques and the computational machinery needed to analyze data generated. Automation in Proteomics & Genomics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach describes the automation...
