Contaminations contaminate common databases [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2020
AbstractThe polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a very powerful method to detect and identify pathogens. The high sensitivity of the method, however, comes with a cost; any of the millions of artificial DNA copies generated by PCR can serve as a template in a following experiment.

Effect of embedded metal fragments on urinary metal levels and kidney biomarkers in the Sprague-Dawley rat

Toxicology Reports, 2021
Background: Wounds with embedded metal fragments are an unfortunate consequence of armed conflicts. In many cases the exact identity of the metal(s) and their long-term health effects, especially on the kidney, are not known.
