The shortcut of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat typing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis differentiation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The 24-loci mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) genotyping has been used as an international standard method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) genotyping. However, different optimized VNTR loci sets for

Development of VNTR-Based Test System for V. cholerae Typing

Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2011
Analysis of VNTRs was used for typing of V. cholerae strains deposited in microbial culture collection of 48 Central Research Institute. The most informative loci and flanking primers were chosen, VNTR profiles were compiled, and allele variability ...

Comparison between RFLP and MIRU-VNTR genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Stockholm 2009 to 2011. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Our aim was to analyze the difference between methods for genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates. We collected genotyping results from Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units ...

Analysis of MNS16A VNTR polymorphic sequence variations of the TERT gene and associated risk for development of bladder cancer

Current Urology, 2021
. Background:. The MNS16A variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene acts as a regulator of hTERT promoter activity and has been shown to have a role in the predisposition toward various ...

Molecular characterization of Salmonella Enteritidis : comparison of an optimized multi-locus variable-number of tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis [PDF]

, 2012
Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is a genetically homogenous serovar, which makes optimal subtype discrimination crucial for epidemiological research. This study describes the development and evaluation of an optimized multiple-locus variable number tandem ...

Development of a hierarchical variable-number tandem repeat typing scheme for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in China.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Molecular typing based on variable-number tandem repeats (VNTR) analysis is a promising tool for identifying transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the currently proposed 15- and 24-locus VNTR sets (VNTR-15/24) only have limited resolution ...

Sex as a modifier of genetic risk for type 1 diabetes. [PDF]

Diabetes Obes Metab
Abstract Sex differences influence the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D), yet most genetic studies have treated sex as a control covariate rather than a dynamic effect modifier. Sex influences immune cell behaviour, including CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation, regulatory T cell stability, B cell autoantibody production, dendritic cell priming and ...

The dopaminergic midbrain participates in human episodic memory formation: Evidence from genetic imaging [PDF]

, 2006
Recent data from animal studies raise the possibility that dopaminergic neuromodulation promotes the encoding of novel stimuli. We investigated a possible role for the dopaminergic midbrain in human episodic memory by measuring how polymorphisms in ...
