Project description:Isolation of fungi in infected neural tissues in patients with Parkinson's disease. Here we used next generation sequencing of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions, by PCR amplicons (NGS ITS amplicon analysis).
Project description:Isolation of bacteria in infected brains in patients with Parkinson's disease. Here we used next generation sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene PCR amplicons (NGS 16S amplicon analysis).
Project description:Massive sequencing of fungal DNA extracted from brain sections for 34 ELA and 22 Parkinson's disease patients. Fungal material was extracted from different brain regions.
Project description:To investigate the role of miRNAs in the etiology of idiopathic PD, we conducted global miRNA expression profiling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of PD patients and controls. Total RNA was extracted from the PBMCs of 19 PD patients and 13 controls, labeled and hybridized to Exiqon microarrays spotted with probes for 733 human miRNAs.
Project description:Bacterial isolation in infected brains in patients with Huntington's disease. Here we used next generation sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene PCR amplicons (NGS 16S amplicon analysis)
