Since its invention in the 1980s, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) opened the door for applications such as genetic engineering, genotyping, and sequencing, and has become a fundamental part of ...
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 ...
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 ...
To say that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has revolutionized the biological sciences is not an understatement. First developed in the early 1980s, the technique allows scientists to amplify DNA ...
A study published today in PLOS ONE finds that Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) technology is suitable for routine analysis of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food, feed, and seeds. More than 60 ...
Lateral flow tests are more accurate than previously reported and cannot be compared directly to how PCR tests work, finds a new paper led by UCL researchers. The peer-reviewed paper, published today ...
