The genus Megasphaera is relevant to the environment, human health and food, and renewable energy for the future. In this study, a primer set was designed for PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses to detect and identify the members of Megasphaera. Direct detection and identification were achieved for environmental samples and isolates.

Background And Purpose: Onychomycosis is a common fungal infection that affects the nails, caused by various fungal agents. Moreover, yeast onychomycosis has increased in recent years. Yeast isolates might not be identified at the species level by conventional methods, whereas molecular methods can identify yeast isolates more accurately.

Aim: To find out the association of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC)-related modular calcium binding 2 () gene variants rs2255680 and rs13208776 with genotypic and phenotypic characteristics in both familial and non-familial primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.
Methods: A total of 212 POAG patients, comprising 124 familial and 88 non-familial, were enrolled. For genotyping the variant rs2255680, amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were utilized for analyzing rs13208776 variant.

We present a rapid high-throughput DNA extraction method for use with EDTA-anticoagulated blood using silicon dioxide (SiO) powder in a guanidine-HCl solution, hereinafter referred to as "Glassmilk." The method utilizes a 96-well deep-well plate, enabling DNA extraction from 96 samples in under 3 h. The method integrates cell lysis, washing, elution, and DNA storage within the same well, eliminating the need for DNA transfer.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between genetic variations in the pulmonary surfactant protein C (SP-C) gene and the risk of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS) by comparing affected neonates with a control group.
- Researchers collected clinical data and blood samples from 168 neonates with NRDS and an equal number without, using specific techniques to analyze gene polymorphisms at two loci: rs4715 and rs1124.
- Results showed that certain variant alleles were significantly more frequent in the NRDS group compared to controls, particularly at the rs4715 and rs1124 loci, although no correlation was found between the rs4715 variant and disease severity.
