Information Visualisation for Antibiotic Detection Biochip Design and Testing

Biochips are engineered substrates that have different spots change colour according to biochemical reactions. These can be read together detect analytes (such as types of antibiotic, pathogens, or biological agents). While some chips designed so each spot on its own a particular analyte, chip designs use combination more efficient and larger number with smaller spots. can, however, difficult design, an effective biosensors needs selected for the chip. need able differentiate between range values combined in way demonstrates confidence analyte is present not. The study described this paper examines potential information visualisation support process designing reading biochips by developing evaluating applications allow biologists analyse results experiments aimed at detecting candidate bio-sensors (to used biochip spots) examining how combine identify analytes. Our demonstrate machine learning techniques improve design biochips.
