LC-MS based identification of secondary metabolites from marine antagonistic endophytic bacteria
Authors: Fehmida Bibi, Muhammad Imran Naseer, Muhammad Yasir, Ahmed Abdullah Khalaf Al-Ghamdi, Esam Ibrahim Azhar
Halophytes occupy coastal and sub-coastal area of marine environment. They potential candidates for search of novel and new bacterial flora that have immense potential to yield novel therapeutic agents. Six different endophytic bacteria have been isolated from pneumatophores and roots of three halophytes (Salsola imbricata, Av.. Read More»

Comparison Between Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction and DNA-Microarray in Detection and Identification of Mycobacterium Species
Authors: Asaad Gaber, Hzem Hamed, Essam Elsawy
Low-cost and low-density (LCD) DNA arrays offer an easy way to detect resistance as minimal laboratory instrumentation is needed. Nucleic acid-based amplification tests allow the rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Recently, a real-time PCR assay for M. tuberculosis complex was introduced. Real-Time PCR and DNA-micr.. Read More»

Evaluation of a cassava translationally controlled tumor protein (MeTCTP) reveals its function in thermotolerance of Escherichia coli and in vitro chaperone-like activity
Authors: Deyvid Novaes Marques, S�¡vio Pinho dos Reis, Cl�¡udia Regina Batista de Souza
The TCTP (Translationally controlled tumor protein) is a highly conserved protein family found in eukaryotic organisms, which has been associated to the performance of several functions at the cellular level, as those related to growth, development, and responses against environmental stresses. However, studies on TCTP from pl.. Read More»

Development of 21 novel polynucleotide microsatellite markers in a Clithon retropictum (Gastropoda: Neritidae), using next-generation sequencing
Authors: Young Se Hyun, Ha Yeun Song, Min-Seop Kim, Hye Suck An
The neritid species Clithon retropictum (Gastropoda), an oviparous snail, is distributed in freshwater and brackish water in southern Korea, south-east Japan, southern China and Taiwan. This species is listed as a class II endangered species in Korea because of its decreasing population size. It has led to an increase in the n.. Read More»

Evaluation of genome similarities using the non-decimated wavelet transform
Authors: L.M. Ferreira, T. S�¡fadi and R.R. Lima
The wavelets have become increasingly popular in the field of bioinformatics due to their capacity in multiresolution analysis and space-frequency localization; the latter particularity is acquired due to a moving window that runs through the analyzed space. As a feature, they have a better ability to capture hidden components.. Read More»
