In the case of nucleic acid tests, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been the gold standard for single-molecule diagnosis. Single-molecule detection of pathogens, such as severe acute respiratory ...

The predicted potential of quantitative t cell repertoire analysis using next-generation sequencing in anti-PD-L1 treatment in NSCLC patients. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2018 ASCO ...

A study published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology shows that a low-cost tool, called Subak, is effective at telling when nuclease digestion has occurred, which is when an enzyme called nuclease ...

A novel method for isothermal amplification of nucleic acids has been developed by researchers from Xuchang University (Xuchang, China). The method could be used for detection of pathogens. A novel ...

In a recent review published in the journal Trends in Analytical Chemistry, researchers provided a comprehensive overview of the current techniques used for severe acute respiratory syndrome ...

Lateral flow assays (LFAs), such as the COVID-19 rapid test, are powerful devices to rapidly detect a protein’s presence or absence. This assay is so easy to perform that it enables at-home testing, ...

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 ...

The advantage is that doping genes in blood can be amplified without nucleic acid extraction, reducing the time and labor required for extraction. This allows multiple blood samples to be processed ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...
