New constructions of one- and two-stage pooling designs

J Comput Biol. 2008 Mar;15(2):195-205. doi: 10.1089/cmb.2007.0195.

Abstract

The study of gene functions requires a DNA library of high quality, such a library is obtained from a large mount of testing and screening. Pooling design is a very helpful tool for reducing the number of tests for DNA library screening. In this paper, we present new one- and two-stage pooling designs, together with new probabilistic pooling designs. The approach in this paper works for both error-free and error-tolerance scenarios.
