""This technology could really empower people," said Dr. Michael Burkart, an assistant professor of biochemistry at the university and a co-author of the paper. "The existing technologies that laboratories use to identify molecules cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our method uses equipment that is almost ubiquitous."

The method was conceived in 1999 when chemist and co-author James La Clair accidentally spilled laboratory chemicals on a compact disc. The new technology relies on counting the errors detected by the laser in a CD player whenever particles in a solution cross its path."

Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.
