Real-time PCR detects and quantifies DNA as the reaction progresses. This quantifies the specific amount of DNA present in a sample. The procedure requires specialized thermal cyclers with ...

You have full access to this article via your institution. To demonstrate the power of PCR–mediated recombination and provide an example of the general utility of the method, we constructed ...

Rapid syndromic polymerase chain reaction testing in the ICU vs standard-of-care testing improves antibiotic stewardship but ...

I therefore devised a single-tube, nested PCR method that is easy to handle and yields consistent results. The PCR mix contained 8 pmol of each reverse and FAM-M13(-21) primer and 2 pmol of the ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens our ability to prevent and treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. To better monitor the emergence and spread of resistance, ...

Researchers have developed an RNA-seq method for investigating drug-resistant infections, and we got the inside scoop!

an expensive and invasive procedure. "It can take until the next day, sometimes two days, to receive bronchoscopy results," Hu said. "With the CRISPR-based assay, we can go from samples to results in ...
