Methods for rapid detection of infectious bacteria and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens
have evolved significantly over the last decade. Many of the new procedures are nucleic …

Abstract Development of nucleic acid-based detection systems is the main focus of many
research groups and high technology companies. The enormous work done in this field is …

Low-density electrical 16S rRNA specific oligonucleotide microarrays and an automated
analysis system have been developed for the identification and quantitation of pathogens …

The 10–23 DNAzyme is one of the most active DNA-based enzymes, and in theory, can be
designed to target any purine-pyrimidine junction within an RNA sequence for cleavage …

Background The analysis of transcriptional levels of the genes involved in protein synthesis
and secretion is a key factor to understand the host organism's responses to recombinant …

Transcript quantification techniques usually rely on purified mRNAs. We report here a
solution-based sandwich hybridization assay for the quantification of mRNAs from …

As cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom (cHAB) events increase in scale, severity, frequency,
and duration around the world, rapid and accurate monitoring and characterization tools …

Synthetic biologists have applied biomolecular engineering approaches toward the goal of
novel biological devices and have shown progress in diverse areas of medicine and …

The knowledge of critical process‐relevant genes can be used for an improved control of
bioprocesses. So far bioprocess‐relevant marker genes can be analyzed by established …

Background Messenger RNA decay is an important mechanism for controlling gene
expression in all organisms. The rate of the mRNA degradation directly affects the steady …
