摘要:
The present invention relates to primers for the universal amplification and detection of Archaea, which primers are designed based on a multiple sequence alignment of Archaea Type II chaperonin (thermosome) genes. For detection of Archaea having templates with a GC content of below 60%, primers are designed so that inosine residues are found at degenerate positions. For amplification of higher GC content templates, degenerate positions are replaced with specific nucleotide bases found in the high GC organism. The primers are useful for detecting, identifying and quantifying Archaea in a sample and for determining a phylogenetic relationship of a test Archaea organism.
摘要:
A method of screening for, diagnosing or detecting the presence of Brachyspira sp. Sask30446 and/or colitis in a subject comprising detecting a Brachyspira sp. Sask30446 polynucleotide or polypeptide in a sample of the subject, wherein detection of the Brachyspira sp. Sask30446 polynucleotide or polypeptide is indicative of the presence Brachyspira sp. Sask30446 and/or that the subject has colitis or has an increased risk of developing colitis.
