SJ participated in development of the molecular assays and study design.

Ian Lipkin http://merutt.wordpress.com/ "These papers emphasize the pitfalls of molecular assays and raise concerns.

Authors' contributions Author 1 (HM) carried out the animal experiments, molecular assays, and statistical analysis and drafted the manuscript.

A molecular assay, Trofile was developed by Monogram Biosciences for use in HIV treatment.

Molecular/Genomic reference standards are a class of 'controls' or standards used to check the performance of molecular diagnostic assays.

However, PCR-based molecular assays are more practical for most applications.

This property is exploited in a range of molecular biological assays.

These studies include genome-wide association (GWAS), medical resequencing, molecular diagnostic assays, as well as association between genotype and non-clinical traits.

After separation, all molecular diagnostic assays require a step of cell/viral lysis in order to release genomic and proteomic material for downstream processing.

One of them had the added gene, as determined by sensitive molecular assays.
