Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis is a popular high-throughput
fingerprinting technique used to monitor changes in the structure and composition of …

Molecular microbial community analysis methods have revolutionized our understanding of
the diversity and distribution of bacteria, archaea and microbial eukaryotes. The information …

The normal microbial flora of the vagina plays an important role in preventing genital and
urinary tract infections in women. Thus an accurate understanding of the composition and …

The analysis of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphisms (T‐RFLP) of 16S rRNA
genes has proven to be a facile means to compare microbial communities and presumptively …

This study evaluated chondrogenesis of mesenchymal progenitor stem cells (MSCs) cultured
initially under pre‐confluent monolayer conditions exposed to transforming growth factor‐β …

A web-based resource, Microbial Community Analysis (MiCA), has been developed to
facilitate studies on microbial community ecology that use analyses of terminal-restriction …

As males and females share highly similar genomes, the regulation of many sexually
dimorphic traits is constrained to occur through sex-biased gene regulation. There is strong …

Since its first description in coastal Connecticut in 1976, both the incidence of Lyme disease
and the geographic extent of endemic areas in the US have increased dramatically. The …

Succession is defined as changes in biological communities over time. It has been extensively
studied in plant communities, but little is known about bacterial succession, in particular in …

Danovaro and colleagues (3) recently compared microbial community diversity and richness
estimates obtained using automated ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA) with …
