Medically reviewed by Jordana Haber Hazan, MD Two types of COVID-19 tests, the rapid antigen test and the polymerase chain ...

Real-time PCR detects and quantifies DNA as the reaction progresses. This quantifies the specific amount of DNA present in a sample. The procedure requires specialized thermal cyclers with ...

You have full access to this article via your institution. To demonstrate the power of PCR–mediated recombination and provide an example of the general utility of the method, we constructed ...

What is real time RT–PCR? Real time RT–PCR is a nuclear-derived method for detecting the presence of specific genetic material in any pathogen, including a virus. Originally, the method used ...

ABL1 digital PCR can reliably quantify stable deep molecular remission of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), which will help to determine for which patients chronic drug treatment could potentially be ...

Rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing in the intensive care unit (ICU) resulted in improved antibiotic stewardship relative to standard care but could not demonstrate non-inferiority in ...

I therefore devised a single-tube, nested PCR method that is easy to handle and yields consistent results. The PCR mix contained 8 pmol of each reverse and FAM-M13(-21) primer and 2 pmol of the ...

Surgery may not be the best next course of treatment for patients with early-stage breast cancer who had a complete response ...
