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 ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

In its formative years PCR and its intellectual possessors had to go through some legal wrangling over the originality of the technique. In point of fact, a 13-year earlier paper by Nobelist Gobind ...

When Kary Mullis, Ph.D., first conceptualized the idea of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983 he immediately knew the technology would revolutionize life sciences research. The Nobel ...

Genetic testing can be a fearful, daunting, overwhelming, exciting, or joyful experience. In many cases, the emotions of people who pursue genetic testing can be described with more than just one of ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

Future data centers might do away with banks of hard drives and switch to a storage medium that nature has been using for billions of years – DNA. In a major step towards making that a reality, ...

Genetic testing for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can tell doctors if someone has leukemia, what type they may have, and whether treatment is working. The tests look for atypical changes in certain ...

A survey of over 2,000 British adults finds that trust in genetics is high and went up significantly during the pandemic. It also finds that there is a hunger for more coverage of genetics. The ...

A rapid isothermal amplification technique enables pathogen identification and antibiotic resistance detection in low-resource settings. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a technique for ...
