Instead, McAllen and other cities like it have to be weaned away from their untenably fragmented, quantity-driven systems of health care, step by step.
We live in an age of fragmentation: fragmented communities, fragmented lives, fragmented attention.
The French organic horticultural sector is fragmented, and the quantities supplied by market operators are small.
These results indicate that ribozymes in the tandem constructs cleave efficiently, and that the luciferase reporters are expressed from the fragmented mRNA in sufficient quantity for use in a 96-well high throughput format.
The effects of treatment on the relative quantity of fragmented DNA are observed to be dose and time-dependent.
Such samples are typically formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, where the extracted DNA tends to be highly fragmented and of limited quantity, making analysis of large genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 challenging.
DNA breaks and other lesions converted to breaks lead to DNA fragmentation and nucleoid unwinding allowing relaxed DNA to move in electric field from nuclei out to form a "comet" like object in which increased quantity of fragmented DNA in comet tail (% T DNA) is proportional to breakage.
DNA from one filter was used as a common background, to which varying quantities of fragmented S. aureus DNA were added.
In our own limit of detection study, we applied whole genome amplification to initial quantities of fragmented S. aureus DNA as low as 0.31 fg and hybridized the amplified DNA to our virulence mechanism array.
Here, SNP-typing methods will be very useful because many of the typing techniques can handle fragmented DNA in low quantities.
Hence, an approach that permitted targeted sequencing of the small quantities of fragmented DNA in maternal plasma had to be sought.
