As an alternative to the separation PCR step, LN1- and LN2-ligated plasmid DNA were mixed in different proportions and used in a primer-extension fluorescent-labeling reaction with either P2a or P2b ...

A 1.4-Mb tandem duplication, including the gene for peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) in chromosome 17p11.2-12 is responsible for 70% of the cases of the demyelinating type 1 of Charcot-Marie-Tooth ...

The evolution of PCR technology is shaping the future of diagnostics, especially in viral detection and RNA analysis. In the second episode of our New Frontiers in PCR Technology Series, we have ...

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a method which utilizes the mechanism of DNA replication to amplify a specific part of DNA. This involves the use of DNA polymerase, which makes new strands of DNA ...

We integrated data from multiple analytes (HPV DNA, HPV RNA, and p16), assays (immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction [PCR], quantitative PCR [qPCR], and digital PCR), and molecular changes ...

What is real-time quantitative PCR? qPCR uses one of two methods to detect the changes to DNA amplification: use of fluorescent dyes or sequence-specific DNA probes. qPCR is normally performed in a ...

SalivaDirect, an open-source protocol, avoids many of the supply bottlenecks of other tools and could be offered for as little as $10 a test. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with ...

There are many different technologies available to conduct multiplex PCR. However, each comes with its own sets of pros and cons. This infographic compares three pillars of PCR, quantitative PCR, ...

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test detects genetic material from a pathogen or abnormal cell sample. Ways of collecting samples include a nasal swab, a saliva swab, or taking a sample of blood.

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction, or "qPCR", is considered the “second generation” of PCR and was first described in 1992. The past three decades have seen significant advances in qPCR ...
