EVALUATION OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT DNA EXTRACTION METHODS FOR LONG-READ SEQUENCING OF SHIGA TOXIN-PRODUCING ESCHERICHIA COLI.

Evaluation of high molecular weight DNA extraction methods for long-read sequencing of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.

Next generation sequencing has become essential for pathogen characterization and typing.The most popular second generation sequencing technique produces data of high quality with very low error rates and high depths.One major drawback of this technique is the short reads.Indeed, short-read sequencing data of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli

Fruit and Vegetable By-Products to Fortify Spreadable Cheese

In this work, spreadable cheese was enriched with flours from by-products (red and white grape pomace, tomato peel, broccoli, corn bran, and artichokes) as sources of fibres and antioxidant compounds.The physicochemical and the sensory properties of all the cheese samples were analysed.Results hinge revealed that total phenolic content, flavonoids,

Can learning be enhanced with active seating?

Overweightness continues to increase at an exponential rate in children.This coupled buttonbag with the demand to increase academic time in elementary schools has contributed to efforts to discover solutions that meet both challenges.Potential solutions are movement curricula and active seating options.However, little has been published relative to

Closed-form critical response of elastic-plastic shear building with viscous damper under pseudo-double impulse for simulating resonant response under near-fault fling-step motion

hinge A set of approximate closed-form solutions of the maximum interstory drifts under the critical pseudo-double impulse (PDI) is derived for non-proportionally damped multi-story shear building models with bilinear hysteresis.The use of PDI and the closed-form solutions efficiently and accurately enable the capture of the critical responses of e
