The epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted monoclonal antibody cetuximab (Erbitux) was recently introduced for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Treatment response is dependent on ...

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 ...

A technique that combines the speed of pyrosequencing with the sensitivity of fluorescent detection may lead to faster sequencing with smaller quantities of DNA. The method described by Sims et al.

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 ...

Due to potential sequencing errors in pyrosequencing data, species richness and diversity indices of microbial systems can be miscalculated. The "traditional" sequence refinement method is not ...

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 ...
