New method to identify microorganisms

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have unveiled a new way to identify key segments of the genetic code.

The method is described in the March 2006 issue of Applied Environmental Microbiology. For more, go to: http://www.bnl.gov/blnweb/pubaf/pr/PR_
