Efficient Detection of Pathogenic Leptospires Using 16S Ribosomal RNA. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Pathogenic Leptospira species cause a prevalent yet neglected zoonotic disease with mild to life-threatening complications in a variety of susceptible animals and humans. Diagnosis of leptospirosis, which primarily relies on antiquated serotyping methods,

A systematic algorithm using 16S ribosomal RNA for accurate diagnosis of pneumonia pathogens [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Over half of community-acquired pneumonia cases are caused by a few dozen bacterial species, and accurate identification of these pathogens is essential for effective treatment. In this study, we developed a reliable diagnostic method using 16S ribosomal

A comparison of structural and evolutionary attributes of Escherichia coli and Thermus thermophilus small ribosomal subunits: signatures of thermal adaptation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Here we compare the structural and evolutionary attributes of Thermus thermophilus and Escherichia coli small ribosomal subunits (SSU). Our results indicate that with few exceptions, thermophilic 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) is densely packed compared to

Selection of reference genes for expression analysis using quantitative real-time PCR in the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera, Aphidiae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
To facilitate gene expression study and obtain accurate qRT-PCR analysis, normalization relative to stable expressed housekeeping genes is required. In this study, expression profiles of 11 candidate reference genes, including actin (Actin), elongation ...
