PCR has allowed scientists to amplify scarce amounts of DNA and engage in the type of research that will help us understand the genetics of who we are, why people are prone to developing certain ...
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR or real-time PCR) is the gold standard for precise monitoring of selected genes. Its keen ability to both detect and simultaneously quantify specific DNA ...
Setting: The diagnosis of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) remains an important clinical problem, primarily because of the inadequate sensitivity of conventional bacteriologic methods for detecting ...
