FungiQuant: A broad-coverage fungal quantitative real-time PCR assay

Background Fungal load quantification is a critical component of fungal community analyses. Limitation of current approaches for quantifying the fungal component in the human microbiome suggests the need for new broad-coverage techniques. Methods We analyzed 2,085 18S rRNA gene sequences from the SILVA database for assay design. We generated and quantified plasmid . . . → Read More: FungiQuant: A broad-coverage fungal quantitative real-time PCR assay

Development and verification of a diagnostic assay based on EF-1 α for the identification of Armillaria species in Northern Europe

See on Scoop.it – PCR PRIMERS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF PHYTOPATHOGENIC FUNGI

The overall aim of this study was to develop a new, reliable and rapid diagnostic assay for differentiating six European Armillaria species based on variation in their elongation factor-1 alpha (EF-1 α) gene sequences and to verify a set of species-specific primers . . . → Read More: Development and verification of a diagnostic assay based on EF-1 α for the identification of Armillaria species in Northern Europe
