An infectious disease can be defined as an illness due to a pathogen or its toxic product, which arises through transmission from an infected person, an infected animal, or a contaminated inanimate object to a susceptible host. There are several scientific practices in place to identify and/or treat an infectious disease.
DNASTAR offers an integrated suite of software for accurate assembly and analysis of sequence data for key NGS workflows, including microbial genome assembly. The DNASTAR assembly software is...
Advances in sequencing technology and increasing recognition of the importance of our microbial world have led to unprecedented discoveries in recent years with respect to the human microbiom...
Rapid advances in sequencing technology and spectroscopy have led to new measurements of the microbiome. Labs make choices based on their environment of interest and the questions they wish t...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
This presentation will discuss fundamental physical, chemical, and biological concepts important to understanding control of detrimental biofilms. Four phenomena that are important in the act...
Among many surprising insights, the genomic revolution has helped us to realize that we're never alone and, in fact, barely human. For most of our lives, we share our bodies with some ten ti...
Human microbiome projects have delivered our first glimpse into the microbial communities that reside in and on our bodies. Building on these efforts the research community has begun to corre...
Managing microbial contaminants is critical during the manufacturing of biologics, food and beverage to ensure that products meet the high quality product standard as well as staying complian...
Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a powerful technique for analyzing fundamental characteristics of macromolecules in solution, including size and shape, assembly state, and degree of p...
Exosomes are small secreted vesicles that have a diameter of ~50-200 nm. Exosomes are enriched for a specific subset of host-derived proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates, though ...

Consistent accuracy in reporting quantitative viral load results is critically important to patients, their physicians and to the clinical laboratory. In clinical practice, quantitative viral...
Some commonly accepted principles of biosafety include the strict adherence to standard laboratory practices and techniques, the use of safety equipment such as primary barriers and personal...
Protein-protein interactions and allosterically regulated enzymes have been challenging but important targets for probe- and drug discovery. We and others have found that fragment-based lead...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of cervical cancer and more than 100 types of HPV have been identified. Detection of HPV from cervical samples is associated with a 250 times...
The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is an ideal model organism to address a broad array of biomedical questions, and is now widely employed to answer questions about aging, behavior, cancer, growth,...
Biofilms, are defined as communities of microorganisms that grow embedded in a self-generated matrix of exopolysaccharides and adhered to an inert surface or a live tissue. They are formed 95...
Regulations and guidelines governing the use of animals in research require minimization of pain and distress. However, pharmacologic treatments to prevent or alleviate pain can interfere wit...
The utility of dried blood spot (DBS) sampling technology for rodent colony health monitoring was investigated using a two-tiered approach. In the first approach, groups of mice and rats were...
The popularity reached by the genetic manipulation of laboratory animals to create new models for studying human diseases, produced in turn, that the techniques for assisted reproduction cons...
Malignancies caused by so-called Type I chemical and biological carcinogens provide important opportunities studying early events in cancer development, providing essential information for de...
Genetic testing is becoming a widespread practice and with human genome fully sequenced we want to develop best methods to do it. Single gene or single mutation screening is pretty much becom...
