Long term needs of genomics:
• Sequencing and genotyping technologies to reduce costs..
• In vivo, real-time monitoring of gene expression ..
Selected technology challenges
Genomics = Electronics ?
H. McAdams – Science 1995
M. Elowitz, S.Leibler, Nature, 2000
Genomics tools
Electronics tools
Genomics needs SPICE….
First principles (solid state physics) --- device behavior --- circuit behavior
First principles (chemistry / biophysics) --- macromolecule behavior --- cell behavior
Protein folding, molecular modifications, molecule structures… Networks, interactions, pathways etc..

Long Term genomics technologiesSingle-molecule technologies: nanopore based detection
Engineered pore-polymer assemblies can be used as single-molecule sensors
L. Movileanu et. al., Nature 2001
• PEG molecules tethered inside nanopores can act as single molecule protein detectors.
