DNA phosphorothioate (PT) modifications, characterized by the replacement of a non-bridging phosphate oxygen atom with a sulfur atom, are widely observed in bacterial genomes. Sensitive detection of phosphorothioate is crucial for elucidating their biological roles and functions. Herein, we developed an innovative method that leverages oligonucleotide-templated reactions (OTRs) and fluorogenic oligonucleotide probes. By optimizing temperature, probe sequence length, and the relative distance between PT position and the fluorophore probe, we achieved sensitive detection for DNA PT modifications through fluorogenic signal amplification, which provides an efficient and cost-effective approach for sensitive detection of phosphorothioate-modified DNA.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of death, particularly in developing countries, where their incidence continues to rise. Traditional CVD diagnostic methods are often time-consuming and inconvenient, necessitating more efficient alternatives. Rapid and accurate measurement of cardiac biomarkers released into body fluids is critical for early detection, timely intervention, and improved patient outcomes.

Importance: Right anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (R-AAOCA) is a rare congenital condition increasingly diagnosed with the growing use of cardiac imaging. Due to dynamic compression of the anomalous vessel, invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) during a dobutamine-atropine volume challenge (FFR-dobutamine) is considered the reference standard. A reliable alternative method is needed to reduce extensive invasive testing, but it remains uncertain whether noninvasive imaging can accurately assess the hemodynamic relevance of R-AAOCA.

Background: The river ecosystems provide habitats and source of water for a number of species including humans. The uncontrolled accumulation of pollutants in the aquatic environment enhances the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes.
Methods: Water samples were collected seasonally from different sites of Gomti and Ganga River.

Background: Sinusitis is a common respiratory infection increasingly associated with antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, posing significant treatment challenges. The emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in sinus infections necessitates comprehensive profiling of resistance patterns to guide effective therapy.

Marine ecosystems, particularly estuaries, are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. The Odiel Estuary has suffered severe contamination from acid mine drainage and industrial activities. Since 1986, mitigation efforts have been implemented, yet their long-term ecological effectiveness remains under-evaluated.
