The gene cassettes found in class 1 integrons are generally promoterless units composed by an open reading frame (ORF), a short 5’ untranslated region (UTR) and a 3’ recombination site ( ). Fused gene cassettes are generated attC by partial or total loss of the from the first cassette in an array, creating, in attC some cases, a fusion with the ORF from the next cassette. These structures are r...

We coupled multiplex PCR and a DNA microarray to construct an assay suitable for the simultaneous detection of five important marine fish pathogens (Vibrio vulnificus, Listonella anguillarum, Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae, Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus). The array was composed of nine short oligonucleotide probes (25-mer) complementary to seven ...

the need for clean groundwater resources to have sustainable development in a country is undoubted. due to the importance and high quality of karstic waters in supplying water in iran especially in shahrood city, it is attempted in this research work to recognize and explore karstic waters in southwest of tepal area, shahrood. for this purpose, integration of the results obtained from the metho...

BACKGROUND To identify genes associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) pathogenesis, we developed a triple combination array strategy comprising methylation, gene expression, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis. METHODS Surgical specimens obtained from a 68-year-old female HCC patient were analyzed by triple combination array, and identified Dynamin 3 (DNM3) as a cand...

Gene expression profiling or karyotyping analysis has made it possible to identify novel genes with altered expressions or copy numbers that have not been previously reported in liver cancer. On the same HCC sample, we performed double array analysis, both expression profiling and karyotyping analysis using a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array in an attempt to find a novel tumor suppres...

a. We recommend that the standard methodology for genetic diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification (including long-range PCR for the first 33 exons of PKD1) followed by Sanger sequencing (1A) or next-generation sequencing where available (1D). b. We suggest that individuals with a clinical diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycyst...

A DNA microarray was developed to detect plasmid-mediated antimicrobial resistance (AR) and virulence factor (VF) genes in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and non-Enterobacteriaceae. The array was validated with the following bacterial species: Escherichiacoli (n=17); Klebsiellapneumoniae (n=3); Enterobacter spp. (n=6); Acinetobacter genospecies 3 (n=1); Acinetobacterbaumannii (n=1); Ps...
