Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, was developed to identify a small fragment of a virus and create multiple copies, making detection easier. PCR is the gold standard in testing for COVID-19 and other ...

GenEx System Aids in the Selection of Reference Genes for Standardizing mRNA Measurements Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is currently the prime technique to measure gene expression. When properly ...

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, the gold standard in testing for the disease has been a nuclear-derived technique: real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time ...

In a recent study published in Lancet Microbe, researchers compare the potential of real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) genotyping assays with whole-genome sequencing ...

Accurate and rapid diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been instrumental in mitigating viral spread during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ...
