Improved assay-dependent searching of nucleic acid sequence databases
Nucleic acid-based biochemical assays are crucial to modern biology. Key applications, such as detection of bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens, require detailed knowledge of assay sensitivity and specificity to obtain reliable results. Improved methods to predict assay performance are needed for exploiting the exponentially growing amount of DNA sequence data and for reducing the experimenta...
متن کاملSensitivity and Specificity of Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification Method for Diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
Abstract Background and Objective: Culture, microscopic method is a gold standard method for identification of Lishmania parasite. The use of Molecular methods such as RT- PCR compared to microscopic methods has a higher sensitivity and specificity however, it is not widely used due to its expensive equipment and the time requested. The use of nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) ...
متن کاملPCRD Nucleic Acid Detector Assay
PCRD lateral flow test strips are a rapid, safe and sensitive way to confirm the successful outcome of DNA amplification. The strips incorporate reagents which sequentially capture and allow visualisation of doublestranded amplification products containing selected binding partners. This simple method of amplicon detection is complete in10 minutes, and the result is detectable by the naked eye ...
متن کاملParallel Homologous Sequence Searching in Large Databases
We present a parallel computational method for retrieving similar sequences from large genetic and protein databases using a dynamic programming comparison algorithm. Two previously published parallel methods for performing this task are first discussed and evaluated. The advantages of these two parallel methods are combined and incorporated into our new method to obtain better performance than...
متن کاملUsing relational databases for improved sequence similarity searching and large-scale genomic analyses.
Relational databases are designed to integrate diverse types of information and manage large sets of search results, greatly simplifying genome-scale analyses. Relational databases are essential for management and analysis of large-scale sequence analyses, and can also be used to improve the statistical significance of similarity searches by focusing on subsets of sequence libraries most likely...
