Figure 1: Enzymatic cascade of the pyrosequencing reaction in the example of a bisulfite-treated template sequence, including a CpG position that is methylated on approximately 50% of all molecules.

Pyrosequencing based Real time PCR has been developed for rapid and reliable detection and pathotyping of NDV virus. The results obtained from pyrosequencing are high quality, rapid and cost-efficient ...

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 ...

Pyrosequencing can be used to detect DNA and RNA from almost any source, and has applications in bacteria resistance screening, drug development, epigenetics, and many other fields. If no light is ...

Recent estimates of the number of species in a gram of soil have garnered much attention. Such estimates are of particular interest as soil is considered to harbor the most diverse populations of ...

Due to potential sequencing errors in pyrosequencing data, species richness and diversity indices of microbial systems can be miscalculated. The "traditional" sequence refinement method is not ...

To date, the knowledge of eukaryotic communities associated with sponges remains limited compared with prokaryotic communities. In a manner similar to prokaryotes, it could be hypothesized that sponge ...

Pyrosequencing AB and Genomics Collaborative Inc (GCI) announced a partnership to accelerate the discovery and development of cardiovascular diagnostic and therapeutic products. Pyrosequencing's ...
