The sequencing of DNA molecules started with the development of chemical cleavage method of Maxam-Gilbert during 1970s followed by di-deoxy chain termination method. However, the whole genome ...

Multiple fields of microbiology rely on techniques of microbial identification, such as in food microbiology for detecting contaminants, and in microbial ecology to characterize biodiversity. Image ...

The possibility of using a new bioluminometric DNA sequencing technique, called pyrosequencing, for typing of human papillomaviruses (HPV) was investigated. A blinded pyrosequencing test was performed ...

A technique that combines the speed of pyrosequencing with the sensitivity of fluorescent detection may lead to faster sequencing with smaller quantities of DNA. The method described by Sims et al.

A new mathematical and statistical method allows the virus population in a diseased organism to be determined quickly and economically. Using this method, medicines and vaccines against diseases ...

Research funded by the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) has led to UK-wide implementation of a novel NHS diagnostic test that uses pyrosequencing (a method of identifying genetic ...
