Abstract

Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment (SELEX) is an iterative method for in vitro selection of aptamers from a random synthetic oligonucleotide library. Successful retrieving of aptamers by SELEX relies on optimization of various steps including target immobilization, aptamer partitioning, amplification, and ssDNA generation, which all require spending considerable effort and cost. Furthermore, due to the random nature of the initial library, SELEX may redirect toward the selection of low-affinity aptamers that are over-represented in the ssDNA population due to PCR bias. Thus, precise monitoring of the SELEX process is crucial to ensure the selection of target-specific aptamers. In the present study, we investigated the reliability and simplicity of different direct and indirect monitoring methods including UV-Vis spectroscopy, real-time PCR quantification and melt-curve analysis, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay (ELONA) for selection of DNA aptamers for a protein target. All the examined methods were capable of illustrating the gradual evolution of specific aptamers by the progression of SELEX and showed almost similar results regarding the identification ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
