Conspectus Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat that if left unchecked could lead to 10
million annual mortalities by 2050. One factor contributing to the rise of multi-drug-resistant …

With hydrophilic surface and high density of functional groups, MXene can efficiently adsorb
single-stranded DNA to enhance target-induced strand release and quench the …

Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microbes have posed a major health issue for the
public, such as the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. In recent years, wastewater-based …

This paper presents a portable integrated digital PCR (PI-dPCR) system with a self-
partitioning SlipChip (sp-SlipChip) microfluidic device for the quantitative analysis of BK …

The bacterial microbiota works as a community that consists of many individual organisms,
ie, cells. To fully understand the function of bacterial microbiota, individual cells must be …

Background One limiting factor of short amplicon 16S rRNA gene sequencing approaches is
the use of low DNA amounts in the amplicon generation step. Especially for low-biomass …

Many of the current accredited methods for the molecular detection of Shiga toxin-producing
Escherichia coli (STEC) in foods rely on a PCR-based screen for the pathotype-specific …

We demonstrate detection and quantification of bacterial load with a novel microfluidic one-
pot wash-free fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay in droplets. The method offers …

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease
characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons and progressive muscle atrophy …

Molecular biomonitoring programs increasingly use environmental DNA (eDNA) for
detecting targeted species such as marine non-indigenous species (NIS) or endangered …
