Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers visits the Bauer Center for Genomics Research.
Staff photo Justin Ide/Harvard News Office Martina Schinke-Braun shows Summers a DNA microarray, containing several thousand oligonucleotides printed onto a coated glass slide. A magnifying glass is necessary to see the individual DNA spots on the slide. Later in the day (Nov. 29), the Bauer Center held an open house that included guided tours of the facilities and live demonstrations.
