Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Behind the success of 'completing' the human genome project was a more than 30-year history of technical innovations for nucleic acid testing. METHODS: Discovery of specific restriction endonucleases and reverse transcriptase was followed shortly by the development of the first diagnostic nucleic acid tests in the early 1970s. Introduction of Southern, Northern and dot blotting and DNA sequencing...
