The landscape of metagenomics and microbiome research is evolving at breakneck speed. As sequencing technologies improve and ...

PCR™ revolutionizes metagenomics with bias-free, adaptive PCR, enabling deeper microbiome insights, higher accuracy, and ...

RT-PCR utilizes a reverse transcriptase enzyme to convert ribonucleic acid (RNA) into complementary DNA (cDNA). 1 When combined with qPCR, the method is called reverse transcription real-time ...

Real-time RT-PCR tests can't tell if you've had COVID-19 in the past (blood tests that search for the presence of coronavirus antibodies do that). Instead, RT-PCR tests are designed to detect an ...

Importantly, both allele-specific probe PCR and next-generation sequencing methods showed 99% comparability in detecting viral variants. Moreover, the allele-specific probe PCR method showed 98% ...

In a 300-patient prospective correlation study conducted at Promus Diagnostics, an optimized PCR method with CFU/mL quantitation was compared directly to standard urine culture and susceptibility ...

This multiplex PCR enrichment protocol enables sequencing of Zika and other viral genomes of low abundance from clinical samples using the Illumina platform, or the portable MinION sequencer ...

Like other PCR techniques, qRT-PCR relies on PCR, a common method for making many copies of small DNA segments. In addition, qRT-PCR employs a reverse transcriptase, which creates complementary ...

Vera-Arias and colleagues developed a new method for detecting the presence of genes for HRP2 and HRP3 in malaria parasites based on a technique called droplet digital polymerase chain reaction ...

Currently established rapid methods for sterility testing of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are mostly based on growth-based processes or the detection of metabolic activities. However, ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...
