Molecular Identification System
Wednesday, December 29, 2010
University of Gujrat is one the most active universities in Pakistan that are working on research and technology.One step step of this series is "Molecular Identification System" developed by zoology department in molecular biology.According to idea
The use of 16S rRNA gene sequences the most common housekeeping genetic marker which can be used for molecular identification of bacteria. These reasons behind this idea include:
- Its presence in almost all bacteria, often existing as a multigene family, or operons
- The function of the 16S rRNA gene over time has not changed, suggesting that random sequence changes are a more accurate measure of time (evolution)
So keeping in view the above facts, one can easily identify the bacterial samples by this latest technique. It provides the authentic and ultimate bacterial identification. Moreover, it reduces the expenses and time for the process. Knowing the significance of the technique they started working to establish it in lab and after the series of experiments they were able to develop it recently, using solely own lab resources.
This shall enhance the research in Biotechnology and Microbiology at University of Gujrat (UOG). It can also be used frequently and effectively in Clinical Diagnostics. We are applying this identification system in our lab to the bacterial samples from different sources (agricultural field soils, industrial effluents, clinical isolates).
