But as herbarium specimens constitute an invaluable resource for the study of genetic diversity of plants, algae and fungi, several comparative studies have addressed the problem of extracting DNA from herbarium specimens.
The comparative analysis of the liver and plasma proteomes generated from human and mouse specimens, constitutes a novel and powerful strategy for HCC biomarker discovery.
The 1802 variant specimens constitute 234 distinct types of genetic variants (i.e., with a distinct ompA mutational pattern that may be shared by several strains), for which no insertion/deletion or any trace of recombination event was found in ompA.
Polymicrobial bacteremia identified in single blood specimens constituted on an average of 56% (range 40 to 75%) during the 16 year study period.
A first derivation step from a taxon-specific field unit is the individualization of specimens, the specimen thus constitutes a first derivative of the field unit.
Ablation therapies such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and photodynamic treatment (PDT) without ER specimens after treatment constitute a meaningful approach.
A total of 61 breast tissue specimens constituted by fibroadenomas, hyperplastic adenosis/fibroadenomas, ductal carcinomas, lobular carcinomas and other breast carcinomas were collected at 307 Hospital (Beijing, China) from patients undergoing surgery (Table 1).
Both convex and concave configurations with a diverse curvature are considered for the specimens, constituted by four Portuguese bricks bonded by three joints of conventional mortar.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMRR) was used to measure moisture profiles during drying of mono-material plaster specimens and of specimens constituted by the same plasters applied on fired-clay brick.
In general, limited availability of samples of known origin, or reversely the lack of the information on the true origin of available specimens, constitutes the main drawback of the proposed approach.
