When creating a PCR protocol, users normally concentrate on the template DNA, reaction mix (buffer, dNTPs, taq polymerase), primers, probes, and the thermocycler, which is the main instrument used to ...

Pt. 1. Key concepts for PCR-- Ch. 1. Optimization of PCR: conversations between Michael and David-- Ch. 2. The convergence of PCR, computers, and the human genome project: past, present, and future-- ...

Programmable RNA base editors are excellent tools to modify RNA transcripts at precise locations or designated hotspots. Post editing, it is critical to provide precise and accurate quantification for ...

Failed polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) are a common cause of frustration in the lab. While a typical PCR protocol is quite straightforward, scientists must optimize each step to amplify the intended ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in demand for population scale pathogen screening. The most sensitive and reliable method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 remains reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR).

INTEGRA Biosciences offers a variety of solutions to streamline crucial PCR purification workflows with magnetic beads and spin columns. These cost-effective devices help to improve reproducibility ...

In the summer of 1984, Henry Erlich, Glenn Horn, Randy Saiki, and myself were working on developing a DNA test for sickle cell anemia (SCA) at Cetus Corp. SCA is an autosomal dominant disease caused ...

While the Delta variant of Covid-19 continues to swirl, many travel companies are cautiously churning back to business, albeit with modified protocols. Cruises are no exception, and Viking enlisted ...
