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 ...

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.

DNA methylation is a form of epigenetics in which gene expression is encouraged or inhibited by the addition of a methyl group on cytosines. It is highly implicated in development, cell ...

We aimed to assess the advantage and disadvantage of next-generation pyrosequencing and traditional Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) in fingerprinting analysis of soil microbial ...

Similar to soil and sediment, activated sludge (AS) is a highly complex system of eukaryotes (protozoa and fungi), bacteria, archaea and viruses, in which bacteria are dominant. Despite its importance ...

The feasibility of implementing pyrosequencing chemistry within droplets using electrowetting-based digital microfluidics is reported. An array of electrodes patterned on a printed-circuit board was ...

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are promising technologies for energy and products recovery coupled with wastewater treatment and have attracted increasing attention (Liu and Logan, 2004; Lovley, ...
