DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A P-35S, T-NOS, T-35S AND P-FMV TETRAPLEX REAL-TIME PCR SCREENING METHOD TO DETECT REGULATORY GENES OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS IN FOOD

Development and Validation of a P-35S, T-nos, T-35S and P-FMV Tetraplex Real-time PCR Screening Method to Detect Regulatory Genes of Genetically Modified Organisms in Food

In routine analysis screening methods based on real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) are most commonly used for the detection of genetically modified (GM) plant material in food and feed.Screening English pads tests are based on sequences frequently used for GM development, allowing the detection of a large number of GMOs (genetically modified

Cysteine proteases in protozoan parasites.

Cysteine proteases (CPs) play key roles in the pathogenesis of protozoan parasites, including cell/tissue penetration, hydrolysis of host or parasite proteins, autophagy, and evasion or modulation of the host immune response, making them attractive chemotherapeutic and vaccine targets.This Oven Mitts review highlights current knowledge on clan CA c

A Nonlinear Radio-Photon Conversion Device

The article analyzes existing materials and structures with quadratic-nonlinear optical properties that can be used to generate a difference frequency in the terahertz and sub-terahertz frequency ranges.The principle of constructing a nonlinear optical-radio converter, based on an optical focon (a focusing cone), is proposed.Based on the assumption

A latent-class heteroskedastic hurdle trajectory model: patterns of adherence in obstructive sleep apnea patients on CPAP therapy

Abstract Background Sleep apnea patients on CPAP Candles therapy exhibit differences in how they adhere to the therapy.Previous studies have demonstrated the benefit of describing adherence in terms of discernible longitudinal patterns.However, these analyses have been done on a limited number of patients, and did not properly represent the tempora
