Do cD24 polymorphisms affect risk and progression of chronic hepatitis B virus infection?
These data demonstrate that genetic variation of CD24 may be an important determinant for the outcome of chronic HBV infection.
The ability of the new Illumina PCR-free pipeline for DNA metabarcoding to detect small arthropod specimens and its tendency to avoid most, if not all, false positives suggests its great potential in biodiversity-related surveillance, such as in biomonitoring programs. However, further improvement for mitochondrial enrichment is likely needed for the application of the new pipeline in analyzing arthropod communities at higher diversity.
