We here identified for the first time the presence of Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) sheep (S) strain in Argentina. IS900 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was positive. The S strain was compared with MAP cattle (C) strains by using IS1311 PCR-restriction endonuclease analysis (PCR-REA), multiplex PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis.

61 By using a novel real time genotyping and quantitative PCR (GQ-PCR) assay, we compared with 62 direct sequence analysis, reverse hybridization, and the multiplex PCR by detecting 127 HBV 63 infected patients. We found that GQ-PCR had the highest concordance with sequence analysis and 64 the highest detection rate for mixed genotype detecting. 65

This study evaluates the effectiveness of three different molecular techniques, repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (REP-PCR), enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence PCR (ERIC-PCR) and the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) for rapid typing of Photobacterium damselae ssp. piscicida strains isolated from different species of marine fish and geographic areas. The resu...

brucella transmission and epidemiology depend on infecting species and biovar. therefore, exact identification of the brucella is important to design correct control and treatment strategies. in this study, we examined presence of other brucellae in isfahan. one hundred twenty brucella isolates were collected and genomic dna was extracted from them. omp2a fragment of all isolates were amplified...

Amplicon (targeted) sequencing by massively parallel sequencing (PCR-MPS) is a potential method for use in forensic DNA analyses. In this application, PCR-MPS may supplement or replace other instrumental analysis methods such as capillary electrophoresis and Sanger sequencing for STR and mitochondrial DNA typing, respectively. PCR-MPS also may enable the expansion of forensic DNA analysis metho...

Comprehensive analysis of DNA methylation patterns is critical for understanding the molecular basis of many human diseases. While hundreds of PCR-based DNA methylation studies are published every year, the selection and implementation of appropriate methods for these studies can be challenging for molecular genetics researchers not yet familiar with methylation analysis. Here we review the mos...
