Detection of regulated and prohibited plants in plant food supplements

OMCL is involved in two projects to tackle this problem. In the first a DNA metabarcoding approach is developed. In short DNA is extracted from the complex mixture, followed by next-generation sequencing ...

The 2021 WHO catalogue of complex mutations associated with drug resistance: A genotypic analysis.

resistance, or consistent with susceptibility, for 13 WHO endorsed anti-tuberculosis drugs. 38,215 MTBC isolates with paired whole-genome sequencing and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing data were amassed ...

Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Cornu aspersum snails: Whole genome-based characterization and host-pathogen interactions in a snail infection model.

sequencing Abstract: Even though Listeria monocytogenes is an extensive-studied foodborne pathogen, genome analysis of isolates from snails that may represent a reservoir of L. monocytogenes are still scarce. ...

VALCOR: a protocol for the validation of SARS-corona virus-2 assays.

of SARS-CoV-2 virus by the identification of viral RNA in oropharyngeal and/or nasopharyngeal specimens or other specimens from the human respiratory tract. METHODS: The VALCOR panel of samples will ...

Publication Type: Dissertation Authors: Bert Bogaerts Source: Ghent University, Gh, p.250 (2021) Keywords: bioinformatics public health VALIDATION whole-genome sequencing Abstract: Whole genome ...

A Summer of Cyanobacterial Blooms in Belgian Waterbodies: Microcystin Quantification and Molecular Characterizations

method allowed to detect and quantify eight microcystin congeners. The mcyE gene was detected using PCR, while dominant cyanobacterial species were identified using 16S RNA amplification and direct ...

VALCOR: a protocol for the validation of SARS-corona virus-2 assays

subjects not carrying SARS-CoV-2. Artificial specimens include calibrated amounts of viral RNA of SARS-CoV-2 sequences provided by established competent agencies that produce reference materials for the ...

Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Low-Frequency Variant Calling for SARS-CoV-2 Using Targeted Deep Illumina Sequencing

pathogenicity and immune escape. Targeted SARS-CoV-2 sequencing of diagnostic and wastewater samples has been explored as an epidemiological surveillance method for the competent authorities. Currently, only the ...
