Pyrosequencing based Real time PCR has been developed for rapid and reliable detection and pathotyping of NDV virus. The results obtained from pyrosequencing are high quality, rapid and cost-efficient ...

Pyrosequencing as implemented by Roche's 454 is a technology that generates a large number of intermediate length DNA reads through a massively parallel sequencing-by-synthesis approach 1. The GS FLX ...

Multiple fields of microbiology rely on techniques of microbial identification, such as in food microbiology for detecting contaminants, and in microbial ecology to characterize biodiversity. Image ...

The possibility of using a new bioluminometric DNA sequencing technique, called pyrosequencing, for typing of human papillomaviruses (HPV) was investigated. A blinded pyrosequencing test was performed ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. Pal Nyren’s Eureka moment came in 1986 when he was cycling home from Cambridge university. “It is often when ...

A new mathematical and statistical method allows the virus population in a diseased organism to be determined quickly and economically. Using this method, medicines and vaccines against diseases ...

Since its introduction a decade ago, whole-genome shotgun sequencing (WGS) has been the main approach for producing cost-effective and high-quality genome sequence data. Until now, the Sanger ...

A dog's indiscriminate taste is not always a positive trait. In fact, it often leads to gastrointestinal infections and consequent ailments such as diarrhea and vomiting that come from eating spoiled ...
