Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
in silico modeling predicts further Alternaria toxins as potential estrogenic factors. Recent studies indicate also an immunosuppressive role of AOH and ATX- II; however, no data are available for the ...
Development and Validation of a New DIVA Real-Time PCR Allowing to Differentiate Wild-Type Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Strains, Including the Asian Recombinant Strains, from Neethling-Based Vaccine Strains.
differentiating Neethling-based vaccine strains from classical and recombinant wild-type strains that are currently circulating in Asia. The DIVA potential of this new assay, seen in the in silico evaluation, was ...
Development of a Droplet Digital PCR to Monitor SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant BA.2 in Wastewater Samples
RT-ddPCR method that targets the T19I amino acid mutation in the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 genomes, which is specific to the BA.2 variant (omicron). The T19I assay was evaluated both in silico and in ...
First Belgian Report of Ertapenem Resistance in an ST11 Klebsiella Pneumoniae Strain Isolated from a Dog Carrying blaSCO-1 and blaDHA-1 Combined with Permeability Defects
ertapenem, third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones. A hybrid approach, combining long- and short-read sequencing, was employed for in silico plasmid characterization, multi-locus sequence typing ...
In Silico Methods for Chromosome Damage.
without the need for test material, several in silico tools for chromosome damage have been developed over the last years. In this chapter, a battery of freely available in silico chromosome damage ...
Flanders and Brussels join forces to tackle animal testing
methods from various research fields and research fields and institutions. This includes using human material in cell and tissue cultures (in vitro), or computer models (in silico). “These new, innovative ...
Het RE-Place project focust op het bevorderen van alternatieve methoden die dierproeven kunnen helpen vervangen
proefdiervrije methoden. Onderzoekers maken onder andere gebruik van menselijk materiaal in cel- en weefselculturen (in vitro), of van computermodellen (in silico). Deze nieuwe, innovatieve technieken spelen een ...
Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Low-Frequency Variant Calling for SARS-CoV-2 Using Targeted Deep Illumina Sequencing
of mutations present at low abundances using the mutations defining the SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 (alpha variant) as a case study. Real sequencing data were in silico modified by introducing mutations ...
Strategy to Develop and Evaluate a Multiplex RT-ddPCR in Response to SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Evolution.
continuously evolving worldwide. In the present study, we proposed a methodology based on an in silico and in vitro analysis. First, we used all information offered by available whole-genome sequencing data for ...
Towards Real-Time and Affordable Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigations Using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technologies
Flongle flow cell, on an extract treated with eukaryotic host DNA removal. Moreover, an alternative approach based on in silico DNA walking allowed to obtain rapid confirmation of the presence of ...
