Abstract
Variable domain of heavy chain antibody (nanobody, Nb) derived from camelids is an efficient reagent in monitoring environmental contaminants. Oriented conjugates of Nbs and bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) provide new tools for the high-throughput immunoassay techniques. An anti-tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) Nb genetically integrated with an extra cysteine residue at the C terminus was immobilized onto BMPs enclosed within the protein membrane, using a heterobifunctional reagent N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithiol) propionate, to form a solid BMP-Nb complex. A rapid and sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the combination of BMP-Nb and T5-horseradish peroxidase was developed for the analysis of TBBPA, with a total assay time of 30 min and a half-maximum signal inhibition concentration (IC50) of 1.04 ng/mL in PBS (pH 10, 10% methanol and 0.137 moL/L NaCl). This assay can even be performed in 100% methanol, with an IC50 value of 44.3 ng/mL. This assay showed quantitative recoveries of TBBPA from spiked canal water (114-124%) and sediment (109-113%) samples at 1.0-10 ng/mL (or ng/g (dw)). TBBPA residues determined by this assay in real canal water samples were below the limit of detection (LOD) and in real sediments were between <LOD and 23.4 ng/g (dw). The BMP-Nb-based ELISA shows promising application in environmental monitoring. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the juvenile Atlantic bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus collected from Sea of Japan was determined by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 16,529 bp in length, including the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region. The TAS, central CSB and CSB were detected in the control region. The gene contents of the mitogenome are identical to those observed in most bony fishes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuna species of the genus Thunnus, such as the bluefin tunas, are some of the most important and yet most endangered trade fish in the world. Identification of these species in traded forms, however, may be difficult depending on the presentation of the products, which may hamper conservation efforts on trade control. In this paper, we validated a genetic methodology that can fully distinguish between the eight Thunnus species from any kind of processed tissue. METHODOLOGY After testing several genetic markers, a complete discrimination of the eight tuna species was achieved using Forensically Informative Nucleotide Sequencing based primarily on the sequence variability of the hypervariable genetic marker mitochondrial DNA control region (mtDNA CR), followed, in some specific cases, by a second validation by a nuclear marker rDNA first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1). This methodology was able to distinguish all tuna species, including those belonging to the subgenus Neothunnus that are very closely related, and in consequence can not be differentiated with other genetic markers of lower variability. This methodology also took into consideration the presence of introgression that has been reported in past studies between T. thynnus, T. orientalis and T. alalunga. Finally, we applied the methodology to cross-check the species identity of 26 processed tuna samples. CONCLUSIONS Using the combination of two genetic markers, one mitochondrial and another nuclear, allows a full discrimination between all eight tuna species. Unexpectedly, the genetic marker traditionally used for DNA barcoding, cytochrome oxidase 1, could not differentiate all species, thus its use as a genetic marker for tuna species identification is questioned.

Abstract
A fully automated system using nano-scale engineered biomagnetite was developed to detect mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Bacterial magnetic particles (BacMPs) were isolated from the magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 and conjugated to streptavidin. Biotin-labeled target PCR products were then captured with the BacMPs, hybridized with the detection probe and detected by fluorescence signaling. The process was performed using a newly designed automated processor equipped with an XYZ mobile arm containing a 96-way automated pipetter, reagent dispenser and fluorescence detector. Two types of somatic mutations (in-frame deletions and point substitutions) in the EGFR gene were successfully identified within 3.5h using this system, suggesting that this system could be used in clinical tests of EGFR gene mutations in lung cancer, and potentially other cancer, patients. Additionally, a very low mutation rate could be detected in these samples.

Abstract
The number of repeat in the microsatellite region (AATG)(5-14) of the human thyroid peroxidase gene (TOPX) was determined using an automated DNA analysis system with nano-scale engineered biomagnetite. Thermal melting curve analysis of DNA duplexes on biomagnetite indicated that shorter repeat sequences (less than 9 repeats) were easily discriminated. However, it was difficult to determine the number of repeats at more than nine. In order to improve the selectivity of this method for the longer repeats, a "double probe hybridization assay" was performed in which an intermediate probe was used to replace a target repeat sequence having more than 9 repeats with a shorter sequence possessing less than 9 repeats. Thermal probe melting curve analyses and Tm determination confirmed that the target with 10 repeats was converted to 5 repeats, 11 repeats converted to 4 and 12 to 3, respectively. Furthermore, rapid determination of repeat numbers was possible by measuring fluorescence intensities obtained by probe dissociation at 56 and 66 degrees C, and 40, 60 and 80 degrees C for signal normalization.

Abstract
A semi-automated system for the large-scale detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been developed based on allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization and thermal dissociation curve analysis using nano-scale engineered biomagnetite (bacterial magnetic particles; BacMPs). For reliable detection in large numbers of samples, several conditions for the capture of target DNA on nano-sized BacMPs and the denaturation of double-stranded DNA were optimized. The most efficient target DNA capture was observed using short PCR amplicons (69 bp). Captured DNAs were denatured using 50 mM NaOH. With these optimizations, large-scale SNP detection was performed on 822 samples of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 gene, which is rich in both GC content and repetitive sequences. High reliability for the semi-automated BacMP-based SNP detection system was confirmed following comparison to traditional sequencing-based methods.

Magnetic nanoparticles have been attracting much interest as a labeling material in the fields of advanced biological and medical applications such as drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging, and array-based assaying. In this review, synthesis of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles via a reverse micelle system and modification of their surface by an organosilane agent are discussed. Furthermore, as a practical biological assay system, the magnetic detection of biomolecular interactions is demonstrated by using the combination of a patterned substrate modified with a self-assembled monolayer and the magnetic nanoparticles.

Abstract
To date no complete phylogeny of all of the currently recognised Indo-Australian varanid species and subspecies has been published. This paper presents a comprehensive mitochondrial gene phylogeny of these lizards. A portion of the mitochondrial genome comprising part of the ND4 gene and three adjacent tRNA genes (hereafter referred to as ND4) was analysed alone and, for a subset of the taxa, combined with previously published mitochondrial data. Similar tree topologies were produced by both datasets although combining the data helped resolve some of the unresolved or weakly supported nodes in the ND4 analyses. The monophyly of the Indo-Australian group was strongly supported in all analyses. This group comprised three major lineages: the gouldii group, the Odatria group and the varius group. Mitochondrial ND4 nucleotide sequences were successfully amplified from all of the Indo-Australian monitor species and subspecies currently recognised and, as such, is the first comprehensive phylogenetic study of the Australian monitor lizards published. Analysis of the tempo of diversification and evolution of preferred habitat use identified six episodes of increased net speciation rate, with two closely adjacent episodes showing the highest rates of diversification and correlating with the appearance of all preferred habitat types. The comprehensive molecular phylogenetic framework will also be useful for the identification of varanid species and traded products derived from monitors and, as such, has important applications for wildlife management and conservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent disease, is believed to be influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors. Here, we evaluated whether the risk and severity of endometriosis are associated with polymorphisms in estradiol-synthesizing enzyme genes: the Ser312Gly polymorphism in 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD17B1) and the Arg264Cys polymorphism in cytochrome P450, subfamily XIX (CYP19). METHODS All participants underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, and the stage of endometriosis was determined according to the Revised American Fertility Society classification. Of the 138 women enrolled, 59 had no endometriosis, 21 had stage I, 10 had stage II, 23 had stage III and 25 had stage IV. SNPs were discriminated by allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization. RESULTS Individuals having at least one A-allele (A/G or A/A genotype) of HSD17B1 showed a significantly increased risk of endometriosis (A/G genotype: adjusted OR, 3.06; 95%CI 1.21-7.74; A/A genotype: adjusted OR, 3.02; 95%CI 1.08-8.43). There was a significant trend associating A/G + A/A genotypes with severity of endometriosis (P for trend < 0.01). No statistically significant association was found for the CYP19 polymorphism. CONCLUSIONS Evidence for association between the Ser312Gly polymorphism in HSD17B1 and endometriosis was found in a Japanese population. The A-allele of HSD17B1 appears to confer higher risk for endometriosis.

Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection for aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene based on DNA thermal dissociation curve analysis was successfully demonstrated using an automated system with bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) by developing a new method for avoiding light scattering caused by nanometer-size particles when using commercially available fluorescent dyes such as FITC, Cy3, and Cy5 as labeling chromophores. Biotin-labeled PCR products in ALDH2, two allele-specific probes (Cy3-labeled detection probe for ALDH2*1 and Cy5-labeled detection probe for ALDH2*2), streptavidin-immobilized BMPs (SA-BMPs) were simultaneously mixed. The mixture was denatured at 70 degrees C for 3 min, cooled slowly to 25 degrees C, and incubated for 10 min, allowing the DNA duplex to form between Cy3- or Cy5-labeled detection probes and biotin-labeled PCR products on SA-BMPs. Then duplex DNA-BMP complex was heated to 58 degrees C, a temperature determined by dissociation curve analysis and a dissociated single-base mismatched detection probe was removed at the same temperature under precise control. Furthermore, fluorescence signal from the detection probe was liberated into the supernatant from completely matched duplex DNA-BMP complex by heating to 80 degrees C and measured. In the homozygote target DNA (ALDH2*1/*1 and ALDH2*2/*2), the fluorescence signals from single-base mismatched were decreased to background level, indicating that mismatched hybridization was efficiently removed by the washing process. In the heterozygote target DNA (ALDH2*1/*2), each fluorescence signals was at a similar level. Therefore, three genotypes of SNP in ALDH2 gene were detected using the automated detection system with BMPs.

Abstract
We designed an automated workstation for magnetic particle-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discrimination of ALDH genotypes. Bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) extracted from Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 were used as DNA carriers. The principle for SNP discrimination in this study was based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between FITC (donor) and POPO-3 (acceptor) bound to double-stranded DNA. The workstation is equipped with a 96-way automated pipetter which collects and dispenses fluids as it moves in x- and z-directions. The platform contains a disposable tip rack station, a reagent vessel serving as a stock for POPO-3 and FITC-labeled probes and a reaction station for a 96-well microtiter plate. BMPs were collected by attaching a neodymium iron boron sintered (Nd-Fe-B) magnet on the bottom of the microtiter plate. This system permits the simultaneous heating and magnetic separation of 96 samples per assay. The genotypes ALDH2*1 and ALDH2*2 were discriminated by calculating the relative fluorescence intensities on BMPs.

Abstract
An approach to analyze mismatches using short and specific oligonucleotide probes directly synthesized on bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) by phosphoramidite methods was exploited. Approximately 126 molecules of 4-mer oligonucleotides/particle were synthesized on BMPs with high reaction efficiencies. Hybridization between FITC-labeled oligonucleotides and chemically synthesized oligonucleotides on BMPs was performed. Perfect matched and mismatched hybridizations were successfully discriminated by using the oligonucleotide probes on BMPs.

Abstract
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) gene was detected by hybridization-based method using bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs). TGF-beta1 is commonly associated with a single base change resulting in a Leu(10)-->Pro (T(869)-->C) polymorphism and is a genetic marker for susceptibility to osteoporosis. Short (9 bases) and specific probes were designed to detect SNP in TGF-beta1. Detection probes were immobilized on BMPs using cross-linking reagents. TGF-beta1 PCR products (139 bp) were labeled with the fluorescent dye coumarin and hybridized with detection probes on BMPs. Complementary hybridized targets gave over four times higher fluorescent intensities, compared with one base mismatched hybridizations. The SNP genotype was successfully discriminated using this technique.

ALDH2 fragments from genomic DNA were amplified using a TRITC labeled primer and biotin labeled primer pair, and conjugated onto BMP surface by biotin-streptavidin interaction. PCR product-BMP complex was observed at a single particle level by fluorescence microscopy. These complexes were treated with restriction enzyme, specifically digesting the wild-type sequence of ALDH2 (normal allele of ALDH2). The homozygous (ALDH2*1/*1), heterozygous (ALDH2*1/*2), and mutant (ALDH2*2/*2) genotypes were discriminated by three fluorescence patterns of each particle. SNP genotyping of ALDH2 has been successfully achieved at a single particle level using BMP.

Abstract
Magnetic bacteria have an ability to synthesize intracellular ferromagnetic crystalline particles consisting of magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4) which occur within a specific size range (50-100 nm). Bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) can be distinguished by the regular morphology and the presence of an thin organic membrane enveloping crystals from abiologically formed magnetite. The particle is the smallest magnetic crystal that has a regular morphology within the single domain size. Therefore, BMPs have an unfathomable amount of potential value for various technological applications not only scientific interests. However, the molecular and genetic mechanism of magnetite biomineralization is hardly understood although iron oxide formation occurs widely in many higher animals as well as microorganisms. In order to elucidate the molecular and genetic mechanisms of magnetite biomineralization, a magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum sp. AMB-1, for which gene transfer and transposon mutagenesis techniques had been recently developed, has been used as a model organism. Several findings and information on the BMPs formation process have been obtained within this decade by means of studies with this model organism and its related one. Biomineralization mechanism and potential availability in biotechnology of bacterial magnets have been elucidated through molecular and genetic approach.
