Amplification of 200-1000-bp DNA fragments was performed in 15-30 min using a rapid thermal cycler based on the commercial instrument TC-1000-1 (IRLEN, St. Petersburg, Russia). Plastic pipette tips were used as thin walled, high surface to volume-ratio tubes, to increase the rate of heating (cooling) of 20 microliters samples, which allowed the time required for DNA amplification to be considerably reduced (5-10 times).

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has transformed forensic DNA analysis but is still limited when dealing with compromised trace or inhibitor-containing samples. Nanotechnology has been integrated into nanoPCR (nanoparticle-assisted PCR) to overcome these obstacles. Nanomaterials improve PCR sensitivity, selectivity, and efficiency.

Genetic factors are effective reagents in susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous studies have shown the relationship between heat shock protein (HSP) gene polymorphisms. So, HSP70 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were evaluated as MS risk factors.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of infection and the distribution of parasite species and genotypes among HIV-positive individuals in Jiangxi Province.
Methods: HIV-positive individuals' sociodemographic and clinical data were collected from three AIDS designated hospitals in Jiangxi Province from January 2022 to March 2023. Subjects' stool samples were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted from stool samples.

Background: Glanders and melioidosis are contagious zoonotic diseases caused by Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei, respectively. Bacterial isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been used to detect these bacteria in animals suspected of infection; however, both methods require skilled experimental techniques and expensive equipment.
