Co-occurrence of odor-causing dioxanes and dioxolanes with bis(2-chloro-1-methylethyl) ether in Huangpu River source water and fates in O 3-BAC process

In recent years, dioxanes and dioxolanes have been intermittently detected in water environment and have caused several offensive drinking water odor incidents worldwide. In this study, the co-occurrence of eight dioxanes, twelve dioxolanes and bis(2-chloro-1-methylethyl) ether was investigated in Huangpu River watershed to explore potential sources and contributions to septic/chemical odor. Totally 8 dioxanes and…

Yeast identification by sequencing, biochemical kits, MALDI-TOF MS and rep-PCR DNA fingerprinting.

No research has comprehensively evaluated the efficiency of 28S nrDNA and ITS sequencing, industrial biochemical check kits, MALDI-TOF MS platforms, and the rising rep-PCR DNA fingerprinting know-how utilizing a cohort of yeast strains collected from a medical microbiology laboratory. On this research, utilizing 71 clinically vital yeast isolates (excluding Candida albicans) collected from a single…

A novel multiplex qPCR method for assessing the comparative lengths of telomeres

Background: The comparative size of telomeres is taken into account to be associated to ailments corresponding to most cancers, growing older, and cardiovascular ailments. qPCR is presently one of many primary strategies for detecting telomere size. Nevertheless, because of the distinctive sequence of telomeres (extremely repetitive six-base sequence), it’s tough to design primers and probes to…

RT-qPCR Diagnostics: The “Drosten” SARS-CoV-2 Assay Paradigm

The reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is an established tool for the diagnosis of RNA pathogens. Its potential for automation has caused it to be used as a presence/absence diagnostic tool even when RNA quantification is not required. This technology has been pushed to the forefront of public awareness by the COVID-19 pandemic,…

A New Specific and Sensitive RT-qPCR Method Based on Splinted 5′ Ligation for the Quantitative Detection of RNA Species Shorter than microRNAs

Not too long ago, we found a brand new household of unusually brief RNAs mapping to five.8S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and which we named dodecaRNAs (doRNAs), based on the variety of core nucleotides (12 nt) their members include. To verify these small RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) knowledge, validate the existence of the 2 overly ample doRNAs-the minimal…
