FungiQuant: A broad-coverage fungal quantitative real-time PCR assay
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fungal load quantification is a critical component of fungal community analyses. Limitation of current approaches for quantifying the fungal component in the human microbiome suggests the need for new broad-coverage techniques. METHODS: We analyzed 2,085 18S rRNA gene sequences from the SILVA database for assay design. We generated and quantified plasmid standards using a qPCR-based approach. We...
