The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular method that is employed for in vitro amplification of a specific region in a strand of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Multiplex PCR involves the ...

GeneFisher—fishing for genes, perhaps? Fishing genes out of genomes? Just fishing? The subtitle, Interactive PCR Primer Design, “hooked me” (get it?) but it shouldn’t have in retrospect. After all, ...

Designing reproducible PCR assays involves optimizing multiple moving targets, from standardizing each component in sometimes minute reaction volumes to planning ahead to ensure long-term and secure ...

Promising new inroads into critical DNA testing has been forecast by experts who have applied machine learning to DNA profiling. From medical diagnostics to forensic tests and national security, PCR ...

First described in the 1990s, digital PCR is a novel approach to PCR which allows precise detection and quantification of the amount of nucleic acids formed during PCR. It is different from ...
