Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an in vitro technology in molecular genetics that progressively amplifies minimal copies of short DNA sequences in a fast and inexpensive manner.However, PCR performance is sensitive to suboptimal processing conditions.Compromised PCR conditions lead to artifacts and bias that downgrade the discriminatory power an
Abstract Non-enterica subspecies of Salmonella enterica are rarely associated with human infections.Paradoxically, food safety legislations consider the entire genus Salmonella as pathogenic to humans.Globally, large amounts of seafoods are rejected and wasted due to findings of Salmonella.To inform better food safety decisions, we investigated the

Abstract Introduction Melanoma surveillance photography (MSP) is a comprehensive surveillance method that comprises two- or three-dimensional total body photography with tagged digital dermoscopy, performed at prescribed intervals.It has the potential to reduce unnecessary biopsies and enhance early detection of melanoma, but it is not yet standard
