This paper addresses an image processing technique for the human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA chip to discriminate whether the probes are hybridized with the target DNA. HPV DNA chip is designed to determine HPV gene-types by using DNA probes for 22 HPV types. In addition to the probes, the HPV DNA chip has markers that always react with the sample DNA. The positions of probe-dots in the final scanned image are fixed relative to the marker- dot locations with a small variation attributable to the accuracy of the dotter and the scanner. The probes are quadruplicated to enhance diagnostic fidelity. frier knowledge including the marker relative distance and the replication information of probes is integrated into the template matching technique with normalized covariance measure. It was demonstrated that the employment of both of the prior knowledges can be accomplished by simply averaging the template matching measures over the positions of the markers and probes. The resulting proposed scheme yields stable marker locating and probe classification.

DNA칩의 성능은 칩을 구성하는 probe에 의해 결정된다. 좋은 probe는 homogeneity, sensitivity, specificity와 같은 속성을 갖추어야 한다. 이중 specificity는 probe의 특정 유전자에 대한 선별적 결합 능력을 나타내는 것으로 이를 계산하는데 가장 많은 시간이 요구된다. 본 논문은 유전자의 개별 후보 probe들에 대한 선정 작업을 실행하기 전에 q-gram을 이용하여 비교가 필요한 유전자들만을 전체 유전자의 길이가 n인 경우 O(1/$4^an^2$)의 시간에 선별하는 전처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 알고리즘을 사용함으로써 기존 방법들보다 빠른 probe 선정이 가능함을 실제 데이터를 사용하여 보인다.

In this research, we developed new PDMS-glass based microbiochip consisted of the micromixer and microreactor for DNA ligation. The micromixer was composed of a straight channel integrated with nozzles and pillars, and the microreactor was composed of a serpentine channel. We coated the PDMS chip surface with the 0.25wt.% PVP solution to prevent the bubble generation which was caused by the hydrophobicity of the PDMS. The new micomixer was passive type and the mixing was enhanced by a convective diffusion using the nozzle and pillar. The 10.33mm long micromixer showed the good mixing efficiency of 87.7% at 500 l/min flow rate. We could perform the DNA ligation successfully in the microbiochip, and the ligation time was shortened from 4 hours in conventional laboratory method to 5 min in the microbiochip.

‘바이오칩(biochip)’ 이란 컴퓨터 칩(computer chip)에서 유래되어 바이오(bio)와 관련된 어떤 집적회로의 요소와 관련된 용어로 지칭되어 왔으나, 최근 몇년 동안 기술개발이 구체으로 이루어 지면서, DNA를 포함한 생체분자(biomolecule)에 대하여 생화학적 분석에 사용되는 프로브(probe)를 정렬(array)시킨 물질 및 장치라고 정의되고있다.(중략)

This paper reports low-cost PDMS/glass based DNA microbiochip for the restriction enzyme reaction and its products detection using the capillary electrophoresis. The microbiochip ($25mm{\times}75mm$) has the heater integrated reactor ($5{\mu}{\ell}$) for DNA restriction enzyme reaction at $37^{\circ}C$ and the microchannel ($80\;{\mu}m{\times}100\;{\mu}m{\times}58mm$) for the capillary electrophoresis detection. It is experimentally confirmed that the digestion of the plasmid ($pGEM^{(R)}-4Z$) by the enzyme (Hind III and Sca I) is performed for less than 10 min and its electrophoresis detection is able to sequentially on the fabricated microbiochip.

Microarrayer makes DNA chip and microarray that contain hundreds to thousands of immobilized DNA probes on surface of a microscope slide. This paper shows the development results for a printing type of microarrayer. It realizes a typical, low-cost and efficient microarrayer for generating low density microarray. The microarrayer is developed by using a robot of three-axes perpendicular type. It is composed of a computer-controlled three-axes robot and a pen tip assembly. The key component of the arrayer is the print-head containing the tips to immobilize cDNA, genomic DNA or similar biological material on glass surface. The robot is designed to automatically collect probes from two 96-well plates with up to 32 tips at the same time. To prove the performance of the developed microarrayer, the general water types of inks such as black, blue and red. The inks are distributed at proper positions of 96 well plates and the three color inks are immobilized on the slide glass under the operation procedure. As the result of the test, it can be shown that it has sufficient performance for the production of low integrated DNA chip consisted of 96 spots within 1 $cm^2$ area.

Experiments and research on genes have become very convenient by using DNA chips, which provide large amounts of data from various experiments. The data provided by the DNA chips could be represented as a two dimensional matrix, in which one axis represents genes and the other represents samples. By performing an efficient and good quality clustering on such data, the classification work which follows could be more efficient and accurate. In this paper, we use a bio-inspired algorithm called the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to propose an efficient clustering mechanism for large amounts of DNA chip data, and show through experimental results that the clustering technique using the PSO algorithm provides a faster yet good quality result compared with other existing clustering solutions.
