Evaluation of the automatic editing tool RECall for HIV-1 pol and V3 loop sequences

Genotypic drug resistance testing is routine practice in HIV-1 clinical care. The visual interpretation of sequencing electropherograms is labour-intensive and subject to intra- and inter-assay variability because decisions are based on operators’ judgments. In this study the performance of the automatic editing tool RECall was compared to the current standard of editing manually and editing using the tool ViroSeq.

A near-full length genotypic assay for HCV1b

  • Autores: Camacho RJ, Cuypers L, Kerremans L, Nevens F, Snoeck J, Van Dooren S, Vandamme AM, Verbeeck J, Vrancken B, Vuagniaux G
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014

A near-full genome genotypic assay for HCV1b was developed, which may prove useful to investigate antiviral drug resistance, given new combination therapies for HCV1 infection. The assay consists of three partially overlapping PCRs followed by Sanger population or Illumina next-generation sequencing.

Rapid identification of veterinary-relevant Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex species using 16S rDNA, IS6110 and Regions of Difference-targeted dual-labelled hydrolysis probes

  • Autores: Albuquerque T, Amaro A, Botelho A, Costa P, Couto I, Ferreira AS, Inácio J, Machado D, Viveiros M
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Journal of Virological Methods
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25192844

In this work we describe a rapid and robust two-step five-target probe-based real-time PCR identification algorithm, based on genomic deletion analysis, to identify the MTC species most commonly associated with TB in livestock and other animals.
