Environmental Science: is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical, biological and information sciences to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. Environmental science emerged from the fields of natural history and medicine during the Enlightenment.
Background: The vast majority of all genes are contained within the genomes of the prokaryotes, including the eubacteria and the archaea. These largely single-cellular domains of life thus...
immunocompromised populations where the virus can cause systemic and even fatal infections. Indeed, we have shown that astrovirus infections are more prevalent than norovirus in our pediatric...
Learning objectives:1. Metagenomic analysis is already complex, and complicated further by incomplete and non-standardized databases of known organisms2. Fungi may have their own 'mic...
Traditional pathogen detection methods rely on the identification of pathogens known to be associated with a particular syndrome. In many cases, it involves complex methodology, lengthy proce...
