Evaluation of gene expression signatures induced by stromal factors as a predictor of survival in breast cancer. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 116 patients with ductal invasive breast ...

A new study led by researchers at the Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill shows an urgent need for improved ...

PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a revolutionary molecular biology technique that allows for the rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences. It is an essential tool in various fields, ...

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is an umbrella term for tests conducted on blood or tissue samples to detect diseases, determine the efficacy of novel or established treatments, and monitor health.

In its formative years PCR and its intellectual possessors had to go through some legal wrangling over the originality of the technique. In point of fact, a 13-year earlier paper by Nobelist Gobind ...

Reverse transcriptase selection can make or break your molecular biology experiments. From thermostability to fidelity, each feature impacts cDNA yield and accuracy. Understanding your RNA quality, ...

New England Biolabs (NEB®) announced today that they have released a novel, thermostable reverse transcriptase, WarmStart® RTx Reverse Transcriptase, specifically designed for nucleic acid detection.

Reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR)--a method for assessing gene expression, detecting low copy number mRNA transcripts, and generating complementary DNAs (cDNAs) for cloning--converts an RNA template ...
