MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION IN NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING: IMPLICATIONS FOR SEQUENCE-BASED ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL SAMPLES.

Microbial contamination in next generation sequencing: implications for sequence-based analysis of clinical samples.

The high level of accuracy and sensitivity of next generation sequencing for quantifying genetic material across organismal boundaries gives it tremendous potential for pathogen discovery and diagnosis in human disease.Despite this promise, HONEYDEW CONDITIONER substantial bacterial contamination is routinely found in existing human-derived RNA-seq

A case of de novo duplication of 15q24-q26.3

Distal duplication, or trisomy 15q, is an extremely rare chromosomal disorder characterized by prenatal and postnatal overgrowth, mental retardation, and craniofacial malformations.Additional abnormalities typically include an unusually short neck, malformations of the fingers and toes, scoliosis and skeletal malformations, genital abnormalities, p

Exogenous estradiol enhances apoptosis in regressing post-partum rat corpora lutea possibly mediated by prolactin

Abstract Background In pregnant rats, structural luteal regression takes place after parturition and is associated with cell death by apoptosis.We have recently shown that the hormonal environment is responsible for the fate of the corpora lutea (CL).Changing the levels of circulating hormones in post-partum rats, either by injecting androgen, prog
