In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for example, recognition is provided by sequence-specific hybridization of short oligonucleotides to a larger target, whereas signal amplification requires ...

An academic journal has retracted a study conducted by researchers with the science services giant Thermo Fisher Scientific ...

Common measurements for modified adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), a gene therapy delivery method, showed substantial ...

RT–PCR is a variation of PCR, or polymerase chain reaction. The two techniques use the same process except that RT–PCR has an added step of reverse transcription of RNA to DNA, or RT, to allow for ...

When the first thermal cyclers for the polymerase chain reaction came out in the 1980s, they were as expensive as a market driven by grant money could make them. Things haven’t got much better ...

One of the tools scientists use is amplified fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction (AFLP-PCR ... PCR conditions to permit promiscuous amplification of genomic regions.

Analysis indicates that flu cases in hospitals have quadruped from figures seen in November 2024. A drop in temperatures is ...

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, the gold standard in testing for the disease has been a nuclear-derived technique: real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in waterways presents a critical threat. If commonly used antibiotics are deemed useless, decades of progress in human medicine and agriculture could be undermined.

Background and Aim: Long-term lamivudine treatment for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection induces the emergence of lamivudine resistant HBV YMDD mutant strains. The aim of the present study ...
