Pyrosequencing technique is based on sequencing-by-synthesis principle. The method is based on the sequencing of single stranded DNA and now-a-days sequencing of double stranded DNA is also possible.

Metatranscriptomes generated by pyrosequencing hold significant potential for describing functional processes in complex microbial communities. Meeting this potential requires protocols that maximize ...

Multiple fields of microbiology rely on techniques of microbial identification, such as in food microbiology for detecting contaminants, and in microbial ecology to characterize biodiversity. Image ...

DNA methylation is a form of epigenetics in which gene expression is encouraged or inhibited by the addition of a methyl group on cytosines. It is highly implicated in development, cell ...

Research funded by the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) has led to UK-wide implementation of a novel NHS diagnostic test that uses pyrosequencing (a method of identifying genetic ...
