If MIQE, pronounced “Mikey,” were a person, he or she would be someone with a familiar-sounding name who is held in high regard but is not close to many. MIQE urgently wants more friends. MIQE stands ...

The simple and fast method of dry swab-direct RT-PCR, developed by CSIR's constituent lab Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, for scaling up coronavirus detection has now been ...

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a molecular technique that has reshaped the landscape of biological research and medicine due to its high sensitivity and specificity. qPCR, also known ...

Chemists at Northwestern University have set a DNA detection sensitivity record for a diagnostic method that is not based on PCR -- giving PCR a legitimate rival for the first time. EVANSTON, Ill. --- ...

The Nagpur-based National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) has developed a simple and fast method of swab collection and processing for RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase ...

The CCMB has been testing samples for coronavirus since April. The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) has approved a simple and fast method for COVID-19 testing which can not only increase the ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...

A digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) technique for screening malaria parasite genomes will help identify when they have mutations that allow them to dodge detection by some rapid tests, shows a ...

Scientists at the University of Florida have developed a pioneering tool to bolster Florida's defenses against invasive species: a DNA-based environmental monitoring test that can pinpoint where ...
