As the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease spreads across the world, the IAEA, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is offering its support ...

Today’s thermocyclers are more intuitive and flexible, letting scientists focus on their experiments rather than their ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA ...

PCR amplifies DNA in a three-step process ... Like any thermal cycler, [Urs Gaudenz]’s PocketPCR automates those temperature shifts, using a combination of PCB-mounted heating elements and ...

PCR’s potential in addressing emerging pathogens was demonstrated by its widespread use around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. But even before that, it was a powerful molecular ...

We therefore developed a strategy to assemble the full–length HIV–1 clones by using PCR–mediated recombination (Fig. 1). The four DNA fragments (A, B, C and D) encompassing the full–length ...

Digital PCR to simultaneously detect SMN1 gene defects and the number of SMN2 copies to diagnose SMA matches standard methods ...

Shesheer Kumar, co-founder of Huwel, explained how traditional RT-PCR testing involves the cumbersome DNA extraction step, where genetic material is isolated from a sample using a process called ...

but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA detection technique, using heterogeneous probe particles ...
