Metagenomic estimation of absolute bacterial biomass in the mammalian gut through host-derived read normalization by Gechlang Tang, Alex V. Carr, Crystal Perez, Katherine Ramos Sarmiento, Lisa Levy, Johanna W. Lampe, Christian Diener, Sean M. Gibbons

“…B:H ratios in stool were correlated with bacterial-to-diet (B:D) read count ratios, but B:D ratios exhibited a substantial number of outlier points. Host read depletion methods reduced the total number of human reads in a given sample, but B:H ratios were strongly correlated before and after host read depletion, indicating that host read depletion did not reduce the utility of B:H ratios. …”

Detection of genetically modified plants using LAMP (loop-mediated amplification) technologies by B. V. Sorochynskyi

“…The most common approaches to the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are the determination of specific proteins synthesized in transgenic plants and the detection of new introduced genes. Methods for the determination of GMOs based on the analysis of nucleic acids are more common, since such methods have greater sensitivity and specificity than the analysis of protein composition. …”
