GeneFisher—fishing for genes, perhaps? Fishing genes out of genomes? Just fishing? The subtitle, Interactive PCR Primer Design, “hooked me” (get it?) but it shouldn’t have in retrospect. After all, ...

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 ...

While many researchers planning PCRs carefully select their DNA polymerase and buffer, they often neglect the other reaction components that play a large role in PCR success. From the template and ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests have become routine because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with more than a million PCR tests being carried out daily in the United States alone. What are now commonly ...

The report is based on the experience of a patient with recurrent retroperitoneal DDLPS and is believed to be the first reported case in which such a patient achieved a pathological complete response ...

A new report from Ameripen, prepared by Circular Matters and funded by the Plastic Industry Association’s (PLASTICS’) “Recycling is Real” initiative, notes significant progress by consumer packaged ...

Taq polymerase is the heat-stable (thermostable) DNA polymerase extracted from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus aquaticus. Its predominant function is in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique ...

With Omicron surging in the United States, many people are taking COVID-19 tests to see whether they test positive. Most people will take either a rapid antigen or PCR test. Though the PCR test is ...
