Single Cell Microarray for High Throughput Detection of DNA Damage

 
LEAD AUTHOR Bevin P. Engelward (MIT-Cambridge) Principal Investigator Biological Engineering MIT Cambridge, MA USA bevin@mit.edu

OTHER AUTHORS: Jing Ge, Danielle Chow Jessica Fessler
PROTOCOL TYPE: Novel Technologies
Protocol Document
SYNOPSIS: Motivation • DNA damage is associated with an increased risk of cancer, aging and disease • Few methods are available for high throughput analysis of DNA damage • This protocol is based upon the traditional comet assay wherein DNA migrates more readily through a matrix when damaged • 96 samples can be processed in parallel • Throughput and sensitivity are increased compared to the traditional assay
