Molecular methods are routinely used for the differential diagnosis and genetic characterization of viral disease of livestock. Real-time, quantitative PCR (qPCR) allows RNA/DNA sequence detection and quantification and is considered the gold standard diagnostic method for most viruses. However, Sanger sequencing offers additional information and opportunity to differentiate closely related virus strains and/or serotypes, by providing the full sequence of a genetic region of interest. Therefore, to determine epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) serotype or identify additional genetic markers, end-point RT-PCR can be performed on EHDV-positive clinical samples, followed by Sanger sequencing and data analysis. Here we describe a detailed method for the molecular characterization of EHDV serotype using Sanger sequencing.

Recently, it has been realized that immune processes participate in the pathogenesis of human cancers. A large number of genetic polymorphisms in immune-related genes have been extensively examined for their roles in the susceptibility of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), including IL4 gene rs2070874, IL4RA gene rs1801275, IL18 gene rs187238, IL18RAP gene rs917997, IL17A gene rs8193036, IL23R gene rs1884444 and IL23R gene rs10889677. However, there is no consistent conclusion, which calls for further research.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most prevalent oral cancers in the world. The major etiological factors are considered to be tobacco and alcohol. However, the etiological factors for non-habit associated oral squamous cell carcinoma (NHOSCC) remains an enigma.

Background: Inadequate tumour samples often hinder molecular testing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Plasma-based cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing has shown promise in bypassing these tissue limitations. Nevertheless, pleural effusion (PE) samples may offer a richer cfDNA source for mutation detection in patients with malignant PE.

Purpose: To enhance the detection rate of Neonatal Intrahepatic Cholestasis caused by Citrin Deficiency (NICCD) through newborn screening (NBS), we analyzed the metabolic profiles of missed patients and proposed a more reliable method for early diagnosis.
Methods: In this retrospective study, NICCD patients were classified into "Newborn Screening" (64 individuals) and "Missed Screening" (52 individuals) groups. Metabolic profiles were analyzed using the non-derivatized MS/MS Kit, and genetic mutations were identified via next-generation sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
