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 ...

Conventional PCR systems require users to set a predetermined number of cycles based on assay- and sample-specific factors. When performing single-cell sequencing experiments, this requires knowledge ...

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 ...

Coronavirus testing: Scientists of Nagpur-based National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) have developed a ...

Increased tracing, testing and isolation of people with novel coronavirus infection is an effective way to contain the virus spread. Currently, the preferred protocol for testing uses the RT-PCR ...

Real-time PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) are both powerful techniques used for precise nucleic acid quantification, but each offers unique advantages depending on various factors. Understanding ...
