A 1.4-Mb tandem duplication, including the gene for peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) in chromosome 17p11.2-12 is responsible for 70% of the cases of the demyelinating type 1 of Charcot-Marie-Tooth ...

You have full access to this article via your institution. So the question remains "What are the essential prerequisites for establishing a quantitative RT-PCR assay?" To date, a great deal of effort ...

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction, or "qPCR", is considered the “second generation” of PCR and was first described in 1992. The past three decades have seen significant advances in qPCR ...

SalivaDirect, an open-source protocol, avoids many of the supply bottlenecks of other tools and could be offered for as little as $10 a test. Survey data showed that hoarding research topics and ...

What is real-time quantitative PCR? qPCR uses one of two methods to detect the changes to DNA amplification: use of fluorescent dyes or sequence-specific DNA probes. qPCR is normally performed in a ...

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) are powerful tools for nucleic acid detection and quantification, each with distinct strengths. Both technologies play vital roles in genomics research, ...

In the six decades since Watson and Crick identified the double helical structure of DNA, a series of elegant and powerful experiments has established the broad outlines of how genetic information is ...

PCR is a technique used to amplify target DNA in a sample. It’s a well-known method that has undergone numerous modifications to enhance its capabilities. This year, it’s turning 40 years old. PCR has ...

With the increase in positive COVID tests, physicians, contact tracers, and hospitals in our town are very busy. I would imagine the same can be said for your community. With this time of year being ...
