摘要:
The present invention provides oligonucleotide primers, compositions, and kits containing the same for rapid identification of viruses (e.g., swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus) which are members of the influenza virus family by amplification of a segment of viral nucleic acid followed by molecular mass analysis.
摘要:
The method described herein relate generally the identification of bioagents on the basis of base composition signatures for bioagent-identifying amplicons. Specifically, methods of the present invention are directed to the application of pattern recognition models, particularly probability pattern classifiers, to the identification of both known and previously unrecognized bioagents. In certain embodiments, the pattern classifiers relate to probability cloud patterns, such as mutational probability patterns. In other embodiments the pattern classifiers relate to polytope pattern models.
摘要:
The present invention provides design and synthesis of oligomeric compounds and compositions that can be administered to reduce the activity of SARS virus in vivo or in vitro, to prevent or treat SARS virus-associated disease, to detect AARS virus, and to diagnose SARS virus-associated diseases.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to strain typing of Escherichia coli TY2482 and/or LB226692, and provides methods, compositions and kits useful for this purpose when combined, for example, with molecular mass or base composition analysis. In particular embodiments, a genetic detection assay (e.g., SNP detection assay, sequencing, etc.) is used to identify mutations in the aggregative adherence fimbria I gene cluster fimbrial subunit (aggA) gene to identify the TY2482 strain, including mutations at position 103, 158, 188, 191, 197, and 271.
