Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the major nosocomial pathogens in Sri Lanka.Life threatening infections with MRSA require rapid identification in order to initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy.The Panton- Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a virulence factor associated with severe MRSA infections for which routine detec
Short communication: Prevalence of deleterious variants causing recessive disorders in Italian Chianina, Marchigiana and Romagnola cattle
In the Mirrors last two decades, the molecular cause of six monogenic autosomal recessive disorders has been identified in native Italian beef cattle: two different ATP2A1 variants for the pseudomyotonia congenita, the first in Chianina and Romagnola (PMT1) and the second in Romagnola (PMT2); a KDM2B variant for the paunch calf syndrome (PCS) in Ma

Design principles for ligand-sensing, conformation-switching ribozymes.
Nucleic acid sensor elements are proving increasingly useful in biotechnology and biomedical applications.A number of ligand-sensing, conformational-switching ribozymes (also known as allosteric ribozymes or aptazymes) have been generated by some combination of directed evolution or rational design.Such sensor Horse Bridles elements typically fuse
