One of the best ways to figure out how far a virus like COVID-19 has spread in a community is to test for it. This step-by-step guide explains how coronavirus swab-the-nose-and-throat tests work, and ...
Digital PCR, or dPCR, is a molecular biology technique that detects and quantifies nucleic acid targets. By partitioning a sample into many individual reactions, scientists can measure whether a ...
As the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease spreads across the world, the IAEA, in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is offering its support ...
Today, PCR is ubiquitous in molecular biology laboratories. As one of the first experiments that young scientists master, it is easy to take for granted. But developing this research lab staple ...
A team of UK-based scientists has recently developed an allele-specific probe polymerase chain reaction method that can accurately detect different variants/lineages of severe acute respiratory ...
