Meandering nanochannels for imaging of ultra-long DNA molecules

Freitag, C. ; Fritzsche, J. ; Persson, F. LU ; Mir, Kalim U. and Tegenfeldt, J. O. LU orcid (2011) 15th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences 2011, MicroTAS 2011 3. p.1758-1760
Abstract

A new chip design for handling and studying chromosomal DNA is described. Folding the nanochannels enables us to image an entire yeast chromosome in a single field of view. Together with existing mapping techniques our new design opens up the possibility of directly analyzing entire chromosomes in a single field of view using fluorescence microscopy. This would enable, for example, identification of microorganisms on a single-cell basis and the complete physical mapping of the human genome, chromosome by chromosome.
