Nucleic acid-based approaches to investigate microbial-related cheese quality defects

TL;DR: The DNA-based methods that are available to detect/quantify spoilage bacteria, and relevant metabolic pathways in cheeses are reviewed and it is highlighted how these strategies can be employed to improve cheese quality and reduce the associated economic burden on cheese processors.

Relative expression software tool (REST©) for group-wise comparison and statistical analysis of relative expression results in real-time PCR

TL;DR: Development and application of REST is explained, the usefulness of relative expression in real-time PCR using REST is discussed and the mathematical model used is based on the PCR efficiencies and the mean crossing point deviation between the sample and control group.

Molecular Beacons: Probes that Fluoresce upon Hybridization

TL;DR: Novel nucleic acid probes that recognize and report the presence of specific nucleic acids in homogeneous solutions that undergo a spontaneous conforma-tional change when they hybridize to their targets are developed.

Determination of stable housekeeping genes, differentially regulated target genes and sample integrity: BestKeeper--Excel-based tool using pair-wise correlations.

TL;DR: The developed, and herein presented, software called BestKeeper determines the best suited standards, out of ten candidates, and combines them into an index, which can be compared with further target genes to decide, whether they are differentially expressed under an applied treatment.

Absolute quantification of mRNA using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays.

TL;DR: The technical aspects involved are discussed, conventional and kinetic RT-PCR methods for quantitating gene expression are contrasted, and the usefulness of these assays are illustrated by demonstrating the significantly different levels of transcription between individuals of the housekeeping gene family, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH).
