...fragments of chemically synthesized DNA to build 101 cassettes of 5,000 to 7,000 base pairs of genetic code. As a measure to differentiate the synthetic genome versus the native genome, the team created watermarks in the synthetic genome. These are short inserted or substituted sequences that encode information not typically found in nature....

...fragments, which can be detected by their specific charge (ratio of charge to molecular weight Gas molecules are broken apart either by stripping electrons off the molecules, or by bombarding them with electrons stripped from carbon nanotubes. The fragments are then sent through a long, narrow electric field. At the end of the field, the...
