Transcriptome Profiling Using Single-Molecule Direct RNA Sequencing
Methods for in-depth characterization of transcriptomes and quantification of transcript levels have emerged as valuable tools for understanding cellular physiology and human disease biology, and have begun to be utilized in various clinical diagnostic applications. Today, current methods utilized by the scientific community typically require RNA to be converted to cDNA prior to comprehensive measurements. However, this cDNA conversion process has been shown to introduce many biases and artifacts that interfere with the proper characterization and quantitation of transcripts. We have developed a direct RNA sequencing (DRS)...

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Unculturable Bacterium Using Whole-Genome Amplification
More than 99% of microorganisms on the earth are unculturable with known culturing techniques. The emergence of metagenomics with high-throughput sequencing technologies has enabled researchers to capture a comprehensive view of a complex bacterial community which comprises both culturable and unculturable species. However, the function of an individual species remains difficult to elucidate in a conventional metagenomic study, which generates numerous genomic fragments of unidentifiable origins at a species or genus level. This limitation hampers any in-depth investigations of the community and its unculturable bacterial ...

Profiling MicroRNAs by Real-Time PCR
A variety of physiological processes are associated with changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression. Analysis of miRNA has been applied to study normal physiology as well as diseased states including cancer. One major challenge in miRNA research is to accurately and practically determine the expression level of miRNAs in various experimental systems. Many genome-wide miRNA expression profiling studies have relied on microarrays technology, and frequently differentially expressed miRNAs have subsequently been confirmed with real-time quantitative PCR studies. Here, we describe how different primer strategies for first-strand cD...

Conclusion This research has illustrated one way of testing a milk “supplement”. It is worth noting some of the researchers’ cautions in interpreting this research. They say that although there is currently insufficient evidence to conclusively establish the value of bovine colostrum in enhancing performance, it is already being used by track and field athletes. They say that as bovine colostrum is viewed as a natural or “alternative therapy” with potent biological activity, athletes would find it particularly appealing because there are many potentially performance enhancing products they cannot take, to avoid a...
