“PCR is an amplification process and when you have very low numbers of RNA you get stochastic fluctuations from having so few molecules,” says Tyagi. Other factors, such as the use of reverse ...

Prior to the development of PCR in the 1980s, the primary method for producing many copies of a gene was a relatively time-consuming process known as DNA cloning. This technique involved insertion ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park ...

PCR amplifies DNA in a three-step process: denaturation, which melts double-stranded DNA into single strands; annealing, which lets small pieces of primer DNA bind to either side of the region of ...

This technique allows scientists to see the results almost immediately while the process is still ongoing, whereas conventional RT–PCR only provides results at the end of the process. Real time RT–PCR ...

QIAcuity digital PCR now offers ability for simultaneous detection of up to 12 targets from one biological sample, a more ...

Eurofins Viracor, LLC a leading provider of specialty diagnostic testing, and part of the global network of Eurofins companies, is pleased to announce the launch of an innovative quantitative PCR ...

In this GEN webinar, Kathleen Davis, Associate Director of Operations at iCura Diagnostics, will describe her experience with validating a highly sensitive dPCR-based LDT for detecting low-frequency ...
