High-throughput applicable genomic sex typing of chicken by TaqMan real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction

Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Fatemeh Mehrpooyan*

TaqMan-based, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction method for RNA editing analysis.

Abnormal adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) messenger RNA (mRNA) editing has been linked to several disease states afflicting the central nervous system. Here we report an assay to determine RNA editing frequencies at specific sites that is based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with TaqMan probes. The assay was tested by measuring the frequency of the A-to-I mRNA editing at the Q/R ...

Detection of Nocardia Asteroides Complex in Clinical Isolates by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction

Background and Aims: Nocardia asteroides complex is the most common cause of infectious diseases due to nocardiosis. Interspecies differentiation of Nocardia genera is essential for prognosis and timely proper treatment, as well as for epidemiological studies. Since each genus has its own antibiotic resistance, precise careful diagnosis is of prime importance. As compared to biochemical and phe...

High-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction in picoliter droplets.

Limiting dilution PCR has become an increasingly useful technique for the detection and quantification of rare species in a population, but the limit of detection and accuracy of quantification are largely determined by the number of reactions that can be analyzed. Increased throughput may be achieved by reducing the reaction volume and increasing processivity. We have designed a high-throughpu...

Rapid Detection of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 by TaqMan-based Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction Assays

PCV2 is the primary causative agent of porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD). In this study, a TaqMan-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeting ORF2 gene of PCV2 was developed and their sensitivities and specificities were investigated. The results indicated that the standard curve had a wide dynamic range (102-107copies/μL) with a linear correlation (R2) of 0.997 ...
