Molecular based tools for detecting the presence of prey tissue in predator stomachs and scat are becoming increasingly used in marine ecology and provide an alternative or complementary approach to visual identification.
MitoCapture (Biovision, Milpitas, CA, USA) is a fluorescence-based tool for detecting changes in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential.
Using data from a study of adolescent health, we consider three variables based on responses to the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), a tool for detecting minor psychiatric illness.
Ultradeep sequencing technology with a dual-base encoding scheme is a promising tool for detecting mutations at low frequency and thereby allowing us to discriminate between genomic variation during short- and long-term evolution.
This chemosensor is a promising analytical tool for detecting Zn2+, Cu2+, and S2− based on different mechanisms in 100% aqueous solutions, and intracellular biosensing has been successfully actualized.
The observations suggest that monitoring the luminescence intensity as a function of oxidation time might form the basis of a nondestructive tool for detecting the onset of failure based on the disappearance of α-alumina.
We tested four tools for CNV identification: (i) 'CNVnator' [ 104], a CNV discovery and genotyping tool for whole-genome sequencing data which uses read-depth analysis based on mean shift; (ii) CONTRA [ 105], a tool for detecting CNVs in whole-exome data.
These results show that multivariate statistical approach, based on H NMR metabolite profiling, is a powerful tool for detecting ongoing differences in VH composition and may be applied to investigate several physiological and pathological conditions.
Array-based comparative genome hybridization is a powerful tool for detecting chromosomal imbalances at high resolution.
The Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) is based on a delayed-type hypersensitivity response against a purified protein derivative (PPD) from M. Tuberculosis, and has for many years been the standard tool for detecting LTBI.
The stethoscope is the physician's most valuable tool for detecting possible cardiovascular problems.
