Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR or qPCR) is revolutionizing many aspects of molecular biology and becoming the gold standard for accurate, sensitive, and fast quantification of gene expression.

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb) today announced the launch of an RT-PCR kit that allows researchers to simultaneously screen samples for Zika (ZIKV), dengue (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, DENV4 ...

Real-time polymerase chain reaction reverse transcription (RT-qPCR) has been described as the gold standard for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection. While the ...

In a recent study published in PLOS ONE, researchers developed a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) system to identify severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus ...

– GEN’s Editor-in-Chief, John Sterling, interviews Jeffery Stevenson, Ph.D., ARUP Institute for Clinical and Experimental Pathology, ARUP Laboratories ...

Variation in gene expression among cell types, tissues, and organisms is commonly examined by reverse transcription quantitative PCR, or RT-qPCR. In this process, RNA is isolated from samples of ...

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, the gold standard in testing for the disease has been a nuclear-derived technique: real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time ...

PCR is a technique used to amplify target DNA in a sample. It’s a well-known method that has undergone numerous modifications to enhance its capabilities. This year, it’s turning 40 years old. PCR has ...
