A digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) technique for screening malaria parasite genomes will help identify when they have mutations that allow them to dodge detection by some rapid tests, shows a ...

Legionnaires' disease (LD) is a globally distributed systemic infectious disease. The burden of LD in many regions is still unclear, especially in Asian countries including China. A survey of ...

The bacterial genera Pectobacterium, Dickeya and Enterobacter are plant pathogens that cause soft rot and blackleg of potato. In the present study, 25 soft rot bacteria were isolated from potato ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...
