Rapid bacterial detection plays a vital role in food safety, clinical microbiology, and environmental monitoring. Traditionally, sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene by short-read sequencing has been used to classify and identify bacteria at various taxonomic levels. However, short reads cannot cover the full length of the 16S rRNA gene (~1,500 bp) — limiting the resolution for species-level identification.

This blog showcases how long sequencing reads can overcome this challenge by spanning the full length of the 16S gene, enabling species-level identification and can identify species missed by short read technologies.

📣Breaking News from Omixon!📣

We are proud to announce the launch of HoloGRAFT ONE, our innovative research-use-only transplant monitoring kit of donor-derived cell-free DNA based on proprietary genetic markers to distinguish donors from patients and using digital PCR.
HoloGRAFT ONE is an innovative test intended for research applications to measure the absolute and relative quantity of donor-derived cell-free DNA in transplant recipients based on genetic segments present in the donor but absent in the patient, called copy-number variants.

Mutations in specific genes are responsible for triggering . These mutations disrupt the protein collagen in the kidney's glomeruli, hampering their ability to filter blood efficiently. This leads to a leakage of blood and protein into the urine.

🩸A vörösvértesteken lévő antigének határozzák meg az A, B, AB és 0 vércsoportokat, amelyek fontos szerepet játszanak a biztonságos vérátömlesztésben és szervátültetésben. 💚
Dán kutatók olyan enzimeket fedeztek fel, amelyek képesek eltávolítani az A és B vércsoportokat meghatározó antigéneket. Ezek az új enzimek lehetővé teszik, hogy az A és B csoportú donorok vérét univerzálissá tegyék.
