Next Generation Sequencing and its Application in the Study of Microbiome in Plant Diseases Suppressive Soils

Progress in next-generation sequencing has played a significant role in ecological studies of microbial populations. These advances have led to a rapid evaluation in metagenomics studies (analysis of DNA of microbial communities without the need to culture). Many statistical and computational tools and metagenomics databases have led to the discovery of huge amounts of data. In this research, i...

Genome Wide Association Studies, Next Generation Sequencing and Their Application in Animal Breeding and Genetics: A Review

Recently genetic studies have been revolutionized by next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, and it is expected that the use of this technology will largely eliminate defects in the methods of association studies. The NGS technology is becoming the premier tool in genetics. However, at the moment the use of this method is limited especially in the livestock due to high cost and computation...

Dogmas of Clinical Pathology: Adjusted Calcium, Modified Transudates, Acidemias of Acidoses, and More

Ken Jenning’s wrote Because I Said So! The Truth Behind the Myths, Tales, and Warnings Every Generation Passes Down to its Kids. In his book, he considered the evidence that supports or refutes common dogmas within the United States. For example, “Was the nail you stepped on rusty? You’ll get tetanus!” Is the statement true, sometimes true, sometimes false, or false? Or, “Your first answer is u...

How well are we training the next generation of clinical pathologists and clinical laboratory directors? A global perspective.

Like most areas of medicine, the clinical laboratory [clinical pathology (CP)] is seeing a rapid introduction of new technologies and science. New biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of response to therapy, and future risk are being proposed at such a high rate that it is difficult to keep up with the literature. At the same time, the aging population of the developed world will dem...
