PCR Links.com is a commercial-laden site that has a lot to offer. Covering the topic of PCR (“Well, duh”), the site starts simple, mixes it up, and ends strong. On the simple end, visitors can learn ...

With laboratory methods and diagnostics advancing apace, Francesca Lake considers whether PCR is likely to retain its crown as an essential lab method, or whether it could be replaced and consigned to ...

Researchers develop a molecular testing-based fast-throughput method for the rapid and early detection of Salmonella ...

Figure 1: Description and proof of principle for balanced PCR. As an alternative to the separation PCR step, LN1- and LN2-ligated plasmid DNA were mixed in different proportions and used in a ...

A team of UK-based scientists has recently developed an allele-specific probe polymerase chain reaction method that can accurately detect different variants/lineages of severe acute respiratory ...

Following adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated transduction, cellular RNA preparations can be contaminated with AAV single-stranded DNA. The single-stranded DNA genome of recombinant AAV vectors can ...

In its formative years PCR and its intellectual possessors had to go through some legal wrangling over the originality of the technique. In point of fact, a 13-year earlier paper by Nobelist Gobind ...

A new procedure can improve polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods of detecting plant disease organisms. A new procedure devised by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and ...

Today, PCR is ubiquitous in molecular biology laboratories. As one of the first experiments that young scientists master, it is easy to take for granted. But developing this research lab staple ...

Imagine a “DNA photocopier” small enough to hold in your hand that could identify the bacteria or virus causing an infection even before the symptoms appear. This possibility is raised by a ...

Since the advent of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) nearly 20 years ago, scientists have been trying to overturn this method for analysing DNA with something better. The "holy grail" in this quest ...
