Genes linked to cancer and other diseases may now be simpler to detect with a new liquid laser technique that clearly distinguishes between mutated and healthy DNA. Researchers at the University of Michigan say their method works better than the current approach, which uses fluorescent dye and other biological molecules to find and bind to mutated DNA strands. Their findings were reported in Angewandte Communications (doi: 10.1002/anie.201107381). Researchers have developed a highly sensitive technique based on laser emission for differentiating a target DNA strand from strands...Read full article
