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 ...

Careful strategizing helps make PCR sensitive enough for the most challenging experiments. You have full access to this article via your institution. Scientists are rarely starved for choice when ...

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, ...

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 ...

Polymerase Chain Reaction or PCR is common in research and diagnostic laboratories, performed on specialized PCR machines. But researchers at Vanderbilt University have used a method called adaptive ...

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a common technique used to amplify, or copy, pieces of DNA. Amplified DNA is then used in genetic analyses for everything from medicine to forensics. In plant ...

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has dramatically transformed scientific research and diagnostic medicine. Over the years, PCR has become an indispensable and integral part of clinical and ...

A few years ago, Ramesh Ramakrishnan had to spend so much time explaining what digital PCR was that he had to rush through his explanations of applications when he gave talks at meetings. Now, he says ...

A new procedure can improve polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods of detecting plant disease organisms. A new procedure devised by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists and ...

Since the advent of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) nearly 20 years ago, scientists have been trying to overturn this method for analysing DNA with something better. The "holy grail" in this quest ...

(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.
