The polymerase chain reaction (PCR), invented about three decades ago, soon entered mainstream use thanks to an ongoing series of refinements. One particularly important refinement, introduced about ...

Quantification of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) proviral DNA is increasingly used to measure the HIV-1 cellular reservoirs, a helpful marker to evaluate the efficacy of antiretroviral ...

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.

In recent years, quantitative real-time PCR tests have been extensively developed in clinical microbiology laboratories for routine diagnosis of infectious diseases, particularly bacterial diseases.

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 ...

As the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease spreads across the world, the IAEA, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is offering its support ...

The changing technology landscape will affect the BioWatch program. This chapter comments on additional assay performance considerations that arise from the use of multiplexed real-time polymerase ...

The OpenArray® Real-Time PCR Platform puts the control in the hands to get the answers you need. It delivers the best combination of convenience, flexibility, throughput, and cost-effectiveness for ...

With the increasing importance of generating large-scale data to drive new pharmaceutical and biotech discoveries, many scientists are feeling pressure to speed up data collection. One increasingly ...

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) from genus beta have been discovered first in patients suffering from epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV). Owing to a specific, genetically determined susceptibility to ...

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 ...
