Abstract
Manipulating long DNA molecules has been a topic of longstanding interest at MicroTAS, typically driven by the need for new genomics technologies. This presentation addresses the other side of the coin, examining how nanofluidics enables precise tests of physical models for how semifiexible molecules like DNA behave when they are confined to small spaces. Nanofluidic genomics tools provide especially stringent tests of these physical models and have exposed important gaps in our understanding of DNA-wall electrostatic interactions.
