A strategy for detection of viruses in groundwater by PCR
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to examine a strategy for the detection of viruses in groundwater by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The objective was to use advanced molecular methods to develop a simple and inexpensive assay that could be used for the detection of viral contamination in water. An improved sample-processing method and a large-volume amplification protocol were used to evaluate the method. Results reveal that PCR is a desirable rapid initial screening tool.

Genetics at the brink of extinction
Article Abstract:
A comprehensive new meta-analysis provides strong evidence that dispels the influential nagging doubt in the minds of conservation geneticists, first raised in the 1980s period that genetic considerations might be irrelevant to the conservation of species on the brink. Conservation genetics has now survived three major challenges to its utility for helping to make conservation management decisions.
