Plants have evolved a variety of defense mechanisms against predators and environmental challenges. Among their protective devices are a myriad of compounds, some very complex in structure, that allow ...
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 ...
Scientists manufacture many biotherapeutic products in immortalized cell lines, most commonly HEK293. Residual HEK293 DNA in biotherapeutic candidates can harbor tumorigenic or retroviral sequences ...
When creating a PCR protocol, users normally concentrate on the template DNA, reaction mix (buffer, dNTPs, taq polymerase), primers, probes, and the thermocycler, which is the main instrument used to ...
DNA analysis is a crucial tool for identifying harmful pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, that cause infections.
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* server, researchers in Germany and Switzerland evaluated 11 commercial reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) kits (A to L) for Monkeypox ...
