Methods for the high-throughput analysis of transgenic events are herein disclosed. The methods use libraries of sheared genomic DNA ligated to specialized adapters and pooled for sequence analysis and comparison to known genomic and insert sequence. The method finds use in detecting characterizing insertion site, transgene integrity, and transgene copy number.

The present invention features compositions and methods for amplifying a target oligonucleotide in a sample, including detection of the target oligonucleotide in real time.

The present invention refers to a device comprising polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) filters and the use of the same for collecting, detecting and identifying organisms present in air ecosystems. The invention also provides a method suitable for the capture, detection and identification of whole airborne biological particles, including viruses and other important air pathogens, which involves the use of the device. This method allows toperform organism, preferably viral, metagenomics to sequence all DNA and RNA organisms captured in the filters. This methodology may be used to detect, for instance, SARS-CoV2 particles in air samples.

Provided herein is the identification of markers associated with THCV, THCVA, CBDV, CBDVA, CBGV, or CBGVA production in Cannabis plants and their use in selecting Cannabis plants having modified THCV, THCVA, CBDV, CBDVA, CBGV, or CBGVA activity. The markers are useful for breeding plants having modified varin activity, including elevated THCV levels, by obtaining nucleic acids, detecting one or more markers that indicate modified varin activity, and establishing plant lines having such characteristics.
