Despite its utility, PCR’s main limitation is that it requires precise cycles of heating and cooling to amplify DNA. The thermal cyclers that perform this operation are clunky, relatively expensive, ...

Promising new inroads into critical DNA testing has been forecast by Flinders University experts who have applied machine learning to DNA profiling. From medical diagnostics to forensic tests and ...

Limited sample material and insufficient DNA input pose significant challenges for downstream analysis in various laboratory settings. To overcome this issue, isothermal amplification techniques have ...

A team of researchers from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has developed a new method for target DNA sequence amplification, testing and analysis. This new technique, or ...

The development of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983 by Kary Mullis and coworkers revolutionized molecular biology, allowing scientists to amplify DNA sequences for various applications. 1 ...

In an area in northern China, cancer in the cardia, which is located between the esophagus and the stomach, occurs at high rates, and the cancer type has distinct features compared to that in Western ...

A new form of PCR has been used to improve the library preparation for forensic DNA typing from difficult samples like touch evidence and human remains. Typically, DNA sequencing and analysis is ...
