Published: April 2003

DNase I pretreatment of 16S rRNA gene PCR reagents was tested. The DNase I requirement for the elimination of false-positive results varied between 0.1 and 70 IU per master mix depending on the applied Taq polymerase. PCR sensitivity was mostly maintained when 0.1 IU of DNase I was used.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, highlighting the necessity for multifaceted treatment strategies, including preoperative treatment (PT), which can enhance surgical outcomes and provide prognostic insights. This study aims to clarify the impact of PT-induced changes in mismatch repair (MMR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression, potentially informing tailored treatment strategies and improving clinical outcomes for CRC patients.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 120 paired samples from CRC patients who underwent preoperative treatment, comparing pre- and post-treatment specimens.

The aim of this review was to delve into the extent of mosquito virome coverage (proportion of viral reads) via meta-viromic sequencing and uncover potential factors of heterogeneity that could impact this coverage. Data sources were PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Science-Direct, Google Scholar, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Pooled coverage was estimated using random-effects modeling, and subgroup analyses further reveal potential heterogeneous factors.

A novel dual-mode aptasensor was constructed for aminoglycoside antibiotics (AAs) detection by using a broad-spectrum aptamer as a biorecognition element, and Au-Pd@Fc functionalized by signal DNA as nanoprobes. In electrochemical mode, the target-induced cyclic amplification reaction run under the action of exonuclease-III, which increased the number of nanoprobes on the electrode surface. AAs could be quantitatively detected with LOD of 0.

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has emerged as a prominent vector for in vivo gene therapy, owing to its distinct advantages. Accurate determination of the rAAV genome titer is crucial for ensuring the safe and effective administration of clinical doses. The evolution of the rAAV genome titer assay from quantitative PCR (qPCR) to digital PCR (dPCR) has enhanced accuracy and precision, yet practical challenges persist.
