Development of a quantitative PCR for the detection of Rangelia vitalii.

Veterinary parasitology
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a SYBR Green qPCR assay to detect and quantify a fragment of the 18S rRNA gene of Rangelia vitalii in canine blood. Repeatability of the qPCR was determined by the intra- and inter-assay variations. T...

Microarray expression profiling and gene ontology analysis of long non-coding RNAs in spontaneously hypertensive rats and their potential roles in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Molecular medicine reports
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be significant in numerous biological processes. Hypertension is a form of cardiovascular disease with at least one billion cases worldwide. The present study sought to compare the differential...

Survival and Metabolic Activity of Pediocin Producer Pediococcus acidilactici UL5: Its Impact on Intestinal Microbiota and Listeria monocytogenes in a Model of the Human Terminal Ileum.

Microbial ecology
Pediococcus acidilactici UL5 is a promising probiotic candidate due to its high survival rate under gastric and duodenal conditions and to its ability to produce the antilisterial bacteriocin pediocin PA-1. Its survival, metabolic activity, and impac...

Cytotoxic response of platinum-coated gold nanorods in human breast cancer cells at very low exposure levels.

Environmental toxicology
Because of unique optical behavior gold nanorods (GNRs) have attracted attention for the application in biomedical field such as bio-sensing, bio-imaging and hyperthermia. However, toxicological response of GNRs is controversial due to their differen...

Printing 2-dimentional droplet array for single-cell reverse transcription quantitative PCR assay with a microfluidic robot.

Scientific reports
This paper describes a nanoliter droplet array-based single-cell reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) assay method for quantifying gene expression in individual cells. By sequentially printing nanoliter-scale droplets on microchip using a...

Predicting fecal sources in waters with diverse pollution loads using general and molecular host-specific indicators and applying machine learning methods.

Journal of environmental management
In this study we use a machine learning software (Ichnaea) to generate predictive models for water samples with different concentrations of fecal contamination (point source, moderate and low). We applied several MST methods (host-specific Bacteroide...

Molecular classification of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by unsupervised clustering of gene expression in motor cortex.

Neurobiology of disease
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disease, caused by the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Although 10% of ALS cases are familial (FALS), the majority are sporadic (S...

ICG: a wiki-driven knowledgebase of internal control genes for RT-qPCR normalization.

Nucleic acids research
Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) has become a widely used method for accurate expression profiling of targeted mRNA and ncRNA. Selection of appropriate internal control genes for RT-qPCR normalization is an elementary prerequisite for reliable ex...
