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 ...

Once the concept of PCR popped into Kary Mullis’ head in 1983 it wasn’t long before scientists realized they had a revolutionary technology in their hands. Because now they could take the smallest ...

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 ...

PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a revolutionary molecular biology technique that allows for the rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences. It is an essential tool in various fields, ...

(Nanowerk News) Storing data in DNA sounds like science fiction, yet it lies in the near future. Professor Tom de Greef expects the first DNA data center to be up and running within five to ten years.

Real-time PCR or quantitative PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is an advancement of the standard PCR technique, which enables continuous monitoring of the reaction and collection of data in real time.

A new form of PCR has been used to improve the library preparation for forensic DNA typing from difficult samples like touch evidence and human remains. Typically, DNA sequencing and analysis is ...

Coexpression of EGFR, pEGFR, VEGF, pVEGF, PTEN, pAKT, and p21 in colorectal cancer patients can have IHC variability between metastases and primary tumours and for EGFR-targeted therapies, p21 and ...
