A response to: Evaluating the reliability of DNA Barcoding for Central American Pacific shallow water echinoderms identification

Rev. biol. trop; 72 (1), 2024
Abstract Introduction: Chacón-Monge et al. (2024) sought to test the accuracy of DNA barcoding for species identification in Pacific Central American shallow water echinoderms. They used cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequences derived from new material collected as part of the BioMar-ACG project in Cos...

Guía de Procedimientos Operacionales y Recomendaciones en la Implementación de Secuenciación de Nueva Generación para Diagnóstico Clínico

Rev. méd. Panamá; 39 (1), 2019
La tecnología diagnóstica conocida como NGS por sus siglas en inglés, o Secuenciación de nueva generación, es relativamente nueva, y se está implementando en algunos hospitales de Panamá. Esta tecnología ha demostrado ser una herramienta muy eficiente para la detección de alteraciones genómic...

Using DNA barcodes to identify forensically important species of Diptera in Espírito Santo State, Brazil

ABSTRACT Accurate insect specimen identification is usually a crucial first step in a forensic entomological analysis. It is traditionally done by morphological classification using identification keys. However, due to sensibility limitations in the identification of animal species based only on their mo...

Sex-biased gene flow in African Americans but not in American Caucasians

We have previously shown evidence of strong sex-biased genetic blending in the founding and ongoing history of the Brazilian population, with the African and Amerindian contribution being highest from maternal lineages (as measured by mitochondrial DNA) and the European contribution foremost from paterna...

Analysis and sequencing of h6hmRNA, last enzyme in the tropane alkaloids pathway from anthers and hairy root cultures of Brugmansia candida (Solanaceae)

Brugmansia candida (Solanaceae) is a native tree distributed across South-American and produces the pharmacologically- important group of tropane alkaloids including scopolamine. This biocompound is synthesised from hyoscyamine by action of Hyoscyamine 6-â hydroxylase (H6H, EC 1.14.11.11) at the end of ...

Utilização de parte da região codificadora da glicoproteína b na diferenciação do herpesvírus bovino 1.1, herpesvírus bovino 1.2 e herpesvírus bovino 5
Utilization of part of the region which codes for glycoprotein b in bovine herpesvirus 1.1, bovine herpesvirus 1.2 and bovine herpesvirus 5

Utilizou-se uma reação em cadeia de polimerase (PCR) previamente desenvolvida para a amplificação de parte da região única longa 27 (UL27) do genoma de herpesvírus bovino 1.1 (BoHV-1), que codifica a glicoproteína B, buscando a diferenciação entre isolados de BoHV-1.1 e BoHV-5. Os produtos de P...
