Accelerating material property prediction using generically complete isometry invariants.

Periodic material or crystal property prediction using machine learning has grown popular in recent years as it provides a computationally efficient replacement for classical simulation methods. A crucial first step for any of these algorithms is the representation used for a periodic crystal. While similar objects like molecules and proteins have a finite number of atoms and their representation can be built based upon a finite point cloud interpretation, periodic crystals are unbounded in size, making their representation more challenging.

[Molecular genetic analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from environment and patients in health care facilities].

Molecular identification and typing of Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei: when is enough enough?

Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei are highly pathogenic microorganisms for both humans and animals. Moreover, they are regarded as potential agents of bioterrorism.

[Comparative assessment of DNA extraction methods for identification of glanders and melioidosis etiological agents by PCR].

Pathogenic Burkholderia are considered as a cause of dangerous infections and potential agents of bioterrorism. Comparative assessment of different methods of extraction and purification of DNA for PCR analysis of pure cultures and samples contaminated by etiological agents of glanders and melioidosis was performed. Samples of soil and food artificially contaminated by pathogenic Burkholderia as well as organs of infected animals were tested.

[Identification of the agents of coccidioidomycosis using polymerase chain reaction].

Two pairs of primers for diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis using the method of PCR were constructed. One pair was used for identification of the two species of Coccidioides (C. immitis and C.
