The new study, led by Dr Peter Brown and Dr Alison Thomas of Anglia Ruskin University, is the first to use molecular techniques to probe for the presence of the DNA of several different insects in the guts of harlequin larvae.
Dissatisfied with the research at the time, which measured toxic substances outside the body and then made inferences about their effects, she began using sophisticated molecular techniques to measure compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAH — which are plentiful in tobacco smoke — in the body.
Between copious coffee breaks, scientists announced several new molecular techniques to help combat this continental epidemic.
For example, scientists at the CDC use molecular techniques to genotype strains of disease.
"Between copious coffee breaks, scientists announced several new molecular techniques to help combat this continental epidemic," Bajak wrote.
Over the last years, laboratories have developed several molecular techniques to differentiate between these species.
Here, we review several aspects of this mutagenesis approach, comparing different molecular techniques to produce libraries of single-residue substitutions.
Our lab uses molecular techniques to study groups of microorganisms (both archaea and bacteria) in the marine environment that to date have not been cultivated.
But I did know that I wanted to use molecular techniques to study microbes and to work with symbiotic systems (specifically interactions between microbes and invertebrate hosts).
He has used molecular techniques to determine historic abundances of whales, challenging pro-whaling countries' argument that some species have receovered enough to lift the global moratorium.
Our recent studies and those of others have further refined molecular techniques to access bacterial viability in simulated and clinical infections [13] [16].
