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 ...

Once the concept of PCR popped into Kary Mullis’ head in 1983 it wasn’t long before scientists realized they had a revolutionary technology in their hands. Because now they could take the smallest ...

PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a revolutionary molecular biology technique that allows for the rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences. It is an essential tool in various fields, ...

(Nanowerk News) Storing data in DNA sounds like science fiction, yet it lies in the near future. Professor Tom de Greef expects the first DNA data center to be up and running within five to ten years.

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 ...

PCR—the workhorse of modern molecular biology—is charging forward using both conventional and digital methods to explore single cells and even single molecules. Nathan Blow reports. In late 1978, Ry ...

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 ...
