When creating a PCR protocol, users normally concentrate on the template DNA, reaction mix (buffer, dNTPs, taq polymerase), primers, probes, and the thermocycler, which is the main instrument used to ...

Here, we describe a method of systematic PCR screening with multiround sample pooling for the isolation of rare PCR-positive samples. As an example, we have applied this protocol to the recovery of ...

Association of Notch-1 phenotype with clinical stage progression in non-small cell lung cancer. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a ...

Programmable RNA base editors are excellent tools to modify RNA transcripts at precise locations or designated hotspots. Post editing, it is critical to provide precise and accurate quantification for ...

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique continues to grow and develop, now boasting several different types, having a variety of effective applications such as the detection of pathogens and ...

In a recently published study in BioTechniques, researchers have reassessed the status quo by performing a direct comparison on single versus triplicate 16S PCR reactions across hundreds of samples in ...
