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 ...

Conventional PCR systems require users to set a predetermined number of cycles based on assay- and sample-specific factors. When performing single-cell sequencing experiments, this requires knowledge ...

With laboratory methods and diagnostics advancing apace, Francesca Lake considers whether PCR is likely to retain its crown as an essential lab method, or whether it could be replaced and consigned to ...
