PARASITES IN CHILDREN – HOW TO DIAGNOSE AN INFECTION?

Despite the growing awareness and good hygiene conditions, the occurrence of intestinal parasites in children is still a very common phenomenon. Statistics show that even every third child is infected with a gastrointestinal parasite. The most common parasites are pinworms, but there are also human tapeworms and roundworms. How can you become infected with the […]

THE USE OF SEQUENCING TECHNIQUES

Sequencing is an advanced method in molecular biology that is key to understanding the mechanisms underlying life. Thanks to it, it is possible to identify genes coding for specific proteins, responsible for a specific feature of a given organism, or to learn the full sequence of genomes of organisms, which gives many opportunities for use […]

ASSEMBLY AND RESTORATION OF ORIGINAL DNA SEQUENCE

DNA sequencing methods produce multiple readings of different lengths. However, based solely on such results, it is not possible to obtain the comprehensive information needed about DNA molecules. The next step in the full analysis is to recreate the original DNA sequence, i.e. to know the order of the nucleotide pairs. What is DNA assembly? […]
