By employing molecular barcodes, polymerase artifacts generated during PCR can be distinguished from sequence variants present in original molecules.
Bacterial and fungal analysis was performed using conventional culture, molecular diagnostics (polymerase chain reaction coupled with electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry) and fluorescence in situ hybridization.
Sub-patent malaria infections, detectable only by molecular techniques (polymerase chain reaction [PCR]), can be relatively common in areas of low malaria endemicity in Southeast Asia and South America and may substantially contribute to maintaining malaria transmission in these areas.
Upon arrival at NHRC, all specimens underwent molecular testing (polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) for a number of respiratory pathogens, including adenovirus and influenza A. Viral culture was performed on 20% of randomly selected specimens that were PCR positive for adenovirus and on all of the specimens that were PCR negative for adenovirus.
Creation of a two-dimensional lattice requires at least two different molecular contacts between polymerase molecules.
The morphologically identified An. funestus larvae were preserved in absolute ethanol for molecular identification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
To report a case initially assessed as giant papillary conjunctivitis and subsequently as B-cell lymphoma by the molecular technique of polymerase chain reaction heteroduplex analysis.
The study was designed to compare the in vitro egg hatch test (EHT) and molecular allele-specific polymerase chain reaction PCR (AS-PCR) methods as tools for detection of benzimidazole resistance in Haemonchus contortus, a nematode parasite of small ruminants.
As a molecular fingerprinting technique, polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) has been successfully applied to profile diverse microbial communities of various clinical specimens (Ariefdjohan et al. 2010; Oates et al. 2012; Walter et al. 2001; Weerasekera et al. 2017, 2013).
To aid conservation efforts, molecular techniques using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been developed that can identify whether marketed shark parts (e.g. fins) are from prohibited species like the dusky shark, versus similar allowed species such as the sandbar shark.
