| | Unpackaging and repackaging photons 601
The well-known inconvenience that a measurement on a quantum system will not
leave it unchanged can be circumvented by turning a photon stream into an electrical
current and then back again.

| | Quantitative detection of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations by automated DNA
sequencing 671
A comparison has been made between manual and automated DNA sequencing
procedures to evaluate the ability to distinguish mixtures of wild-type and mutant
sequences. Quantitative detection of such mixtures of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations was
best achieved using an automated system that uses fluorescent-labelled sequencing
primers. This procedure has a wide range of applications in clinical research, including
heterozygote analysis. Software that automatically reports mixed-base positions is
presented.
