[Scientific and practical applications of molecular colonies]
Abstract
Reviewed are the history of invention of the molecular colony technique, also known under name "polony technology", applications of this method to studies of reactions between single RNA molecules, ultrasensitive diagnostics, gene cloning and screening in vitro, and also concepts on the origin of life that consider molecular colonies as a prototype of living organisms.
