The epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted monoclonal antibody cetuximab (Erbitux) was recently introduced for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Treatment response is dependent on ...

A technique that combines the speed of pyrosequencing with the sensitivity of fluorescent detection may lead to faster sequencing with smaller quantities of DNA. The method described by Sims et al.

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 ...

The sequencing of DNA molecules started with the development of chemical cleavage method of Maxam-Gilbert during 1970s followed by di-deoxy chain termination method. However, the whole genome ...
