We have developed a nucleic acid dot-blot hybridization test for the detection of astroviruses in stool samples. The test was not as sensitive as electron microscopy for the detection of low numbers ...

The introduction of molecular biology techniques in the diagnostics of chronic hepatitis B virus infection proved HBV DNA to be the most sensitive marker of viral replication and infectivity. The aim ...

Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules, encoding and regulating the expression of hereditary information within living organisms 1. The biological importance of nucleic acids has prompted the use of ...

The ability to label nucleic acids with a variety of tagged molecules has led to astonishing advances in molecular biology. Labeled DNA, RNA, and oligonucleotide probes have made possible techniques ...

Nucleic acids may be labeled at their 3’ end, 5’ end, or throughout the molecule, depending on the desired application. Myriad of enzymatic or chemical methods are utilized to generate nucleic acids ...
