MINING NON-MODEL GENOMIC LIBRARIES FOR MICROSATELLITES: BAC VERSUS EST LIBRARIES AND THE GENERATION OF ALLELIC RICHNESS

Mining non-model genomic libraries for microsatellites: BAC versus EST libraries and the generation of allelic richness

Abstract Background Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are tandemly repeated sequence motifs common in genomic nucleotide sequence that often harbor significant variation in repeat number.Frequently used as molecular markers, SSRs are increasingly identified via in silico approaches.Two common classes of genomic resources that can be mined are bacteria

A rare case of brain abscess caused by Actinomyces meyeri

Abstract Background Brain abscesses are the rare and most severe form of actinomycosis, which usually manifests as abscesses of the occipital or parietal lobe due to direct expansion from an adjacent area, the oral cavity.In the medical literature, there are only a few reported Grill / Griddle Screens cases of brain abscess caused by Actinomyces me
