A team of UK-based scientists has recently developed an allele-specific probe polymerase chain reaction method that can accurately detect different variants/lineages of severe acute respiratory ...

PCR is a technique used to amplify target DNA in a sample. It’s a well-known method that has undergone numerous modifications to enhance its capabilities. This year, it’s turning 40 years old. PCR has ...

Currently established rapid methods for sterility testing of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are mostly based on growth-based processes or the detection of metabolic activities. However, ...

A team of researchers has developed a new method for target DNA sequence amplification, testing and analysis. A team of researchers from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has ...

Sequencing viral genomes during an outbreak can facilitate response and containment efforts. In this study, we describe a reverse transcription long-range polymerase chain reaction for efficient ...

A landmark study, titled “How error correction affects polymerase chain reaction deduplication: A survey based on unique molecular identifier datasets of short reads” recently published in ...

Today, PCR is ubiquitous in molecular biology laboratories. As one of the first experiments that young scientists master, it is easy to take for granted. But developing this research lab staple ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...

The development of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983 by Kary Mullis and coworkers revolutionized molecular biology, allowing scientists to amplify DNA sequences for various applications. 1 ...
