This article describes a fast short-fragment PCR method for the detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), and monodon baculovirus (MBV). Fast two-temperature (95 degrees C denaturation and 60 degrees C annealing/extension) PCRs were performed in 5-10 microl volume samples in miniaturized microplates using a fast Peltier thermal cycler. 40 cycles were completed in 25-30 min. Rapid high-resolution agarose gel electrophoresis of 70-150 bp PCR fragments was performed in 10 min. High sensitivity of PCR product detection (50-100 pg) was obtained using ultra sensitive dyes such as GelStar and a gel documentation system equipped with a blue-light transilluminator. This novel method is faster and more sensitive than its TaqMan real-time PCR counterparts.

Endogenous tags have become invaluable tools to visualize and study native proteins in live cells. However, generating human cell lines carrying endogenous tags is difficult due to the low efficiency of homology-directed repair. Recently, an engineered split mNeonGreen protein was used to generate a large-scale endogenous tag library in HEK293 cells.

The identification of structural variations (SVs) and viral integrations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a key step in precision oncology that may assist clinicians in treatment selection and monitoring. However, due to the short fragment size of ctDNA, it is challenging to accurately detect low-frequency SVs or SVs involving complex junctions in ctDNA sequencing data. Here, we describe Aperture, a new fast SV caller that applies a unique strategy of $k$-mer-based searching, binary label-based breakpoint detection and candidate clustering to detect SVs and viral integrations with high sensitivity, especially when junctions span repetitive regions.

Recently, DNA-based methods have proved to be accurate, fast and sensitive for meat authentication. According to the European Union, the food safety standards require accurate and detailed composition information of the meat products. Therefore, an accurate, fast and cost-effective identification methodology is needed.

Glucokinase (GCK) is a key enzyme in glucose sensing and glycemic regulation. In humans, mutations in the GCK gene cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young 2 (MODY-2), a disease that is characterized by an early-onset and persistent hyperglycemia. It is known that Gck knockout (KO) is lethal in mice with Gck KO mice dying within 2 weeks after birth.
