Identification of Belgian mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) by DNA barcoding Institute of Tropical Medicine University of Antwerp
Since its introduction in 2003, DNA barcoding has proven to be a promising method for the identification of many taxa, including mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). Many mosquito species are potential vectors of pathogens, and correct identification in all life stages is essential for effective mosquito monitoring and control. To use DNA barcoding for species identification, a reliable and comprehensive reference database of verified DNA ...

Accurate and comprehensive analysis of single nucleotide variants and large deletions of the human mitochondrial genome in DNA and single cells Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Massive parallel sequencing (MPS) can accurately quantify mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) single nucleotide variants (SNVs), but no MPS methods are currently validated to simultaneously and accurately establish the breakpoints and frequency of large deletions at low heteroplasmic loads. Here we present the thorough validation of an MPS protocol to quantify the load of very low frequency, large mtDNA deletions in bulk DNA and single cells, along ...
