In recent years, studies have been progressively conducted to assess the effect of distinct sampling techniques on the outcomes of fecal microbiome assessment, in order to address this unmet need in the area of microbiome research. These methodology researches are useful for researchers to create quite rational guidelines for the procedure of fecal sampling, handling, […]

When bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites change over time and no longer respond to antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs. This makes an emerging issue related to the development and usage of antibiotics. Traditional microbial screening methods for AMR can be very laborious and time-consuming. However, the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS), especially whole-genome sequencing (WGS), […]

Without previous understanding of organisms, next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers an efficient unbiased approach to determine new coronavirus strains and other pathogens. New variants of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus are increasingly concerned about the rapid spread, highlighting the necessity for more sequencing to rapidly identify mutations and limit the risk of new strains. Sequencing was employed early […]

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, or CRISPR, is one of the most phenomenal discoveries that paved the way for modern genome screening and editing technologies. CRISPR is a family of DNA found in the genome of prokaryotes, specifically bacteria and archaea. These sequences contain DNA fragments from known bacteriophages that infect the particular prokaryote. […]

The Discovery of Hepatitis C Virus Hepatitis, or the inflammation of the liver, is primarily caused by viral infection. Other significant factors to it include alcohol abuse, environmental contaminants, and autoimmune diseases. It became apparent in the 1940s that there were two major forms of contagious hepatitis. In the 1960s, Hepatitis B and A vaccines […]
