trichophyton rubrum (t. rubrum) is an anthropophilic dermatophyte that is distributed worldwide and causes common cutaneous disease such as mycosis. although several properties of this fungus have been investigated so far, however a few studies were carried out in the field of molecular biology of this fungus. in the present study we tried to identify its molecular characterization of the goano...

background: we examined a molecular method with a single-pcr for amplification of a part of cp5 gene enabling us to differen­tiate the pathogenic species, entamoeba histolytica , from the non-pathogenic species, e. dispar . methods: we developed a single pcr method for this purpose.  after investigation of genbank, primer pairs were de­signed from highly conserved regions of cysteine proteinase...

There are significant challenges associated with qualitative and quantitative nucleic acid tests performed in diagnostic laboratories. The development of internationally available certified reference materials which can be traced to reference measurements will contribute to a better understanding of the performance characteristics of nucleic acid tests and enhance reliability and comparability ...

We propose a neural connectomics strategy called Fluorescent In-Situ Sequencing of Barcoded Individual Neuronal Connections (FISSEQ-BOINC), leveraging fluorescent in situ nucleic acid sequencing in fixed tissue (FISSEQ) [1, 2]. FISSEQ-BOINC exhibits different properties from BOINC [3, 4], which relies on bulk nucleic acid sequencing. FISSEQ-BOINC could become a scalable approach for mapping who...

The REvolutionary Approaches and Devices for Nucleic Acid analysis (READNA) project received funding from the European Commission for 41/2 years. The objectives of the project revolved around technological developments in nucleic acid analysis. The project partners have discovered, created and developed a huge body of insights into nucleic acid analysis, ranging from improvements and implementa...

background: foot -and- mouth disease (fmd) is endemic in iran. molecular techniques for diagnosis of persistent infection or carrier animals have shown a potential ability to improve the detection of a low genome copy number in samples. objectives: the purpose of this study is to evaluate the frequency of foot and mouth disease viral carriers in slaughtered sheep in mashhad industrial abattoir ...

The ability to quickly and accurately obtain sequence information from single molecules of DNA and RNA has far-reaching implications for our understanding of biology. In the work presented here, we have made several advances in the area of single-molecule DNA and RNA sequencing. Specifically, in attempting to increase the read length of DNA polymerase, we have assayed several custom synthesized...
