Similar to soil and sediment, activated sludge (AS) is a highly complex system of eukaryotes (protozoa and fungi), bacteria, archaea and viruses, in which bacteria are dominant. Despite its importance ...

Pyrosequencing can be used to detect DNA and RNA from almost any source, and has applications in bacteria resistance screening, drug development, epigenetics, and many other fields. If no light is ...

Pyrosequencing-based methylation analysis investigates quantitatively the degree of methylation at CpG positions in close proximity after bisulfite treatment of genomic DNA. The procedure for a ...

Multiple fields of microbiology rely on techniques of microbial identification, such as in food microbiology for detecting contaminants, and in microbial ecology to characterize biodiversity. Image ...

Pyrosequencing technique is based on sequencing-by-synthesis principle. The method is based on the sequencing of single stranded DNA and now-a-days sequencing of double stranded DNA is also possible.

DNA sequencing to detect genetic mutations can aid in the diagnosis and selection of treatment for cancer. Current methods of testing DNA samples, Sanger sequencing and pyrosequencing, occasionally ...
