Despite its utility, PCR’s main limitation is that it requires precise cycles of heating and cooling to amplify DNA. The thermal cyclers that perform this operation are clunky, relatively expensive, ...

The development of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983 by Kary Mullis and coworkers revolutionized molecular biology, allowing scientists to amplify DNA sequences for various applications. 1 ...

Promising new inroads into critical DNA testing has been forecast by experts who have applied machine learning to DNA profiling. From medical diagnostics to forensic tests and national security, PCR ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Advanced molecular diagnostics tests that can rapidly and precisely detect diseases within the home could revolutionize preventive medicine and improve global biosecurity. Nucleic ...

The polymerase chain reaction -- A brief comparison between in vivo DNA replication and in vitro PCR amplification -- The PCR in practice -- The different types and varieties of nucleic acid target ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...
