A technique that combines the speed of pyrosequencing with the sensitivity of fluorescent detection may lead to faster sequencing with smaller quantities of DNA. The method described by Sims et al.

The epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted monoclonal antibody cetuximab (Erbitux) was recently introduced for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Treatment response is dependent on ...

Due to potential sequencing errors in pyrosequencing data, species richness and diversity indices of microbial systems can be miscalculated. The "traditional" sequence refinement method is not ...

A new mathematical and statistical method allows the virus population in a diseased organism to be determined quickly and economically. Using this method, medicines and vaccines against diseases ...
