Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to many changes. Among them is universal familiarity with a molecular diagnostic technique that was largely unknown outside clinical use. The polymerase chain reaction — or ...

PCR-based techniques have transformed how scientists analyze transcripts’ translational applications in cancer and ...

Traditional PCR systems require users to set a specified number of cycles according to the assay and the input amount. As a result, input material must be quantified, and samples of varying inputs ...

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 ...
