Modeling and Experimental Validation of DNA Motion in Uniform and Nonuniform DC Electric Fields
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We are developing a new technique to insert foreign DNA into a living cell using a microelectromechanical system. This new technique relies on electrical forces to move DNA in a nonuniform ...
Cylindrical Single-Degree-of-Freedom Spatial Mechanisms for Cell Restraint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many transgenic animal production techniques require egg cells to be held in place during injection of the transgene. This paper presents a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) mechanism that ...
Effects of Dissimilar Electrode Materials and Electrode Position on DNA Motion During Electrophoresis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electrophoretic systems commonly use metal electrodes in their construction. This paper explores and reports the differences in the electrophoretic motion of DNA (decomposition voltage, electrical ...
