Yeah....it washes off Fox and Ravens Send a noteboard - 09/12/2010 04:03:40 PM
But I did a bit of googling and found that the criticism is actually that arsenic compounds break down in water.

Apparently they didn't wash the DNA before they analysed it, either. Major fail.


Yeah, major fail is right. That's a big oops.
Go Hokies!

CS/CpE. Yay engineering!

There's no "simply" about DNA made with arsenic instead of phosphorous. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/12/2010 11:49:16 PM 316 Views
