DNA formation with actuators and microcontrollers

Once the desired DNA sequence is displayed on the computer screen, the next step involves the machine recognizing the sequence and dispensing specific volumes of dATP, dGTP, dTTP, and dCTP onto the synthesis plate in a predefined order. This process is facilitated by linking inputs A, T, G, and C to microcontrollers like an Arduino Board. The code configured on the Arduino Board assigns each input to its respective actuator.

To implement this, connect the actuators and input pins to the corresponding pins on the Arduino board. Adjust any necessary delays or parameters according to your specific setup. Read more ...
