The potential for genetic discovery in human DNA sequencing studies is greatly diminished if DNA samples from a cohort are mislabeled, swapped, or contaminated or if they include unintended individuals. Unfortunately, the potential for such errors is significant since DNA samples are often manipulated by several protocols, labs, or scientists in the process of sequencing. We have developed a so...

b a ckground: zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is endemic in many parts of iran. recently its incidence isconsiderable in different parts of jahrom district, in fars province, southern iran. the aims of our study were to in- vestigate the prevalence of leishmania infection, and identify and characterize the   leishmania species present, among the rodents by molecular methods in a new ende...

structural repetitive subsequences are most important portion of biological sequences, which play crucial roles on corresponding sequence’s fold and functionality. biggest class of the repetitive subsequences is “transposable elements” which has its own sub-classes upon contexts’ structures. many researches have been performed to criticality determine the structure and function of repetitive su...

One of the major questions in microbial ecology is "who is there?" This question can be answered using various tools, but one of the long-lasting gold standards is to sequence 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplicons generated by domain-level PCR reactions amplifying from genomic DNA. Traditionally, this was performed by cloning and Sanger (capillary electrophoresis) sequencing of PCR amplicons....

introduction: listeria monocytogenes is a gram positive bacteria, frequently found in the environment and is responsible for food-borne disease such as perinatal infections, septicameia and meningeonceohalitis in human and animals. material and methods: for this reason, distribution of the ctpa determinate among l. monocytogenes isolated from clinical environment, diry and poultry samples were ...
