Abstract: Pooling design is an important mathematical tool in DNA library screening. It has been showed that using pooling design, the number of tests in DNA library screening can be greatly reduced. In this paper, we present some new algebraic constructions for pooling design.
Keywords: pooling design; se-disjunct matrix; finite fields; affine unitary space; (d, r)-flat; DNA library screening; bioinformatics.
