Background: In gene therapy, the use of RNA molecules as therapeutic agents has shown advantages over plasmid DNA, including higher levels of safety. However, transient nature of RNA has been a major obstacle in application of RNA in gene therapy. Methods: Here, we used the internal ribosomal entry site of encephalomyocarditis virus and the 3’ non-translated region of Poliovirus to design an en...

Background and Objective: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still an ongoing challenge in health system worldwide. Molecular detection methods including reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) can help cutting off the transmission chain of the virus. In this study, prompt setting up of the RT-LAMP assays were investigated using ge...

Conventional microbiology methods used to detect bacteria include multiple cultures and identification processes, so the results of lab work are painstaking and time-consuming. In recent years, more and more tend to use the diagnostic tests which are based on DNA; hence, DNA diagnostic biosensors have been created to perform DNA identification better. In this study, GUS and hpt genes were used ...
