Non-thermal Cycling for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
University researchers have developed a PCR method and device that does not rely on thermal cycling. The invention can be implemented on a fluidic chip platform and is compatible with standard sample preparation and detection schemes; it offers a totally integrated approach that enables overall reaction efficiency, reduced power consumption and device portability.

Title: METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING AND MODIFYING LARGE DNA MOLECULES | PROCEDE DE CONSTRUCTION ET DE MODIFICATION DE GRANDES MOLECULES D'ADN
Usefulness: METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING AND MODIFYING LARGE DNA MOLECULES | PROCEDE DE CONSTRUCTION ET DE MODIFICATION DE GRANDES MOLECULES D'ADN
Summary: The method is useful for bacterial artificial chromosome manipulation to aid in future studies of gene function in the post-genomic era. The method is useful for engineering any large DNA fragments or inserting large DNA fragments into the Escherichia coli chromosome. It is also useful for constructing and modifying much larger DNA molecules such as human artificial chromosomes.
Novelty: Combining overlapping DNA molecules, useful for human artificial chromosome manipulation for gene function study, by inserting a first DNA fragment from a DNA-vector complex into a second DNA fragment by homologous recombination
