Antibiotic Resistance Spread in Europe Informed by Bacterial Plasmid Sequencing
With plasmid and chromosomal sequence data, European investigators identified three main routes for carbapenem antibiotic resistance spread in Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Urinary Metabolite GWAS Leads to Risk Variants, Potential Markers of Kidney Disease
The researchers identified 240 metabolite-locus associations, including novel gene candidates for biotransformation and detoxification reactions.
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) — In an effort to improve the long-term storage of multiplex nucleic acid assays, a German academic group has developed a protocol for air drying PCR primers and probes and shown that the reagents remained stable and effective for a year at ambient laboratory conditions.
Researchers Develop 'Microarray Copier' for Solid-Phase PCR; Plan to Extend to RNA, Proteins
Premium
Researchers at Germany's University of Freiburg have developed a method to perform highly parallel PCR amplification in a picowell array while simultaneously immobilizing the PCR products onto a microscope slide for future analysis.
German Group's 'Mediator Probe' PCR Method May Provide Cost Savings over Hydrolysis Probe PCR
Premium
Scientists from the University of Freiburg in Germany have developed a sequence-dependent universal detection technique for monitoring real-time PCR reactions that they say could significantly reduce the cost of performing real-time PCR.
