AbstractDroplet microfluidics has emerged as a powerful technology for improving the culturing efficiency of environmental microorganisms. However, its widespread adoption has been limited due to considerable technical challenges, especially related to identification and manipulation of individual growth-positive droplets. Here, we combined microfluidic droplet technology with on-chip “fluorescent nucleic acid probe in droplets for bacterial sorting” (FNAP-sort) for recovery of growth-positive droplets and droplet microdispensing to establish an end-to-end workflow for isolation and culturing of environmental microbes. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the ability of our technique to yield high-purity cultures of rare microorganisms from a representative complex environmental microbiome. As our system employs off-the-shelf commercially available equipment, we believe that it can be readily adopted by others and may thus find widespread use toward culturing the high proportion of as-of-yet uncultured microorganisms in different biomes.

Next generation sequencing (NGS) is not used commonly in diagnostics, in part due to the large amount of time and computational power needed to identify the taxonomic origin of each sequence in a NGS data set. By using the unassembled NGS data sets as the target for searches, pathogen-specific sequences, termed e-probes, could be used as queries to enable detection of specific viruses or organisms in plant sample metagenomes. This method, designated e-probe diagnostic nucleic acid assay, first tested with mock sequence databases, was tested with NGS data sets generated from plants infected with a DNA (Bean golden yellow mosaic virus, BGYMV) or an RNA (Plum pox virus, PPV) virus. In addition, the ability to detect and differentiate among strains of a single virus species, PPV, was examined by using probe sets that were specific to strains. The use of probe sets for multiple viruses determined that one sample was dually infected with BGYMV and Bean golden mosaic virus.

Molecular diagnosis is the field that aims to develop nucleic-acid-based analytical methods for biological markers and gene expression assessments by combining laboratory medicine and molecular genetics. As it gradually becomes a clinical reality, molecular diagnosis could benefit from improvements resulting from thorough studies that could enhance the accuracy of these methods. The application of magnetic particles in molecular diagnosis tools has led to tremendous breakthroughs in terms of specificity, sensitivity, and discrimination in bioassays. Therefore, the aim of this review is to highlight the principles involved in the implementation of magnetic particles for sample preparation and targeted analyte isolation, purification, and extraction. Furthermore, the most recent advancements in the area of cancer and infectious disease diagnosis are presented, with an emphasis on screening and early stage detection.
