Figure 1: Enzymatic cascade of the pyrosequencing reaction in the example of a bisulfite-treated template sequence, including a CpG position that is methylated on approximately 50% of all molecules.

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 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 ...

DNA sequencing has markedly changed the nature of biomedical research, identifying millions of polymorphisms along the human genome that now require further analysis to study the genetic basis of ...
