High Impact Biochips Journals

A biochip may be a collection of miniaturized test sites (microarrays) arranged on a solid substrate that allows many tests to be performed at an equivalent time so as to realize higher throughput and speed. Typically, a biochip's area is not any larger than a fingernail. Like a computer chip which will execute many mathematical operations in one second, a biochip can achieve thousands of biological reactions, like decoding genes, during a few seconds. A genetic biochip is implies to "freeze" into corner the structures of the many short strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the fundamental chemical instruction that determines the characteristics of an organism. Effectively, it's used as a sort of "test tube" for real chemical samples. A specially designed microscope can determine where the sample hybridized with DNA strands within the biochip. Biochips guided dramatically to stimulate the identification of the predicted 80,000 genes in human DNA, an ongoing world-wide research collaboration referred to as the Human Genome Project. The microchip is described as a kind of "word search" function which will quickly sequence DNA.
