First developed more than four decades ago as a biological research technique to amplify nucleic acids, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology still has untapped potential, with many exciting ...

Because of its high accuracy, laboratory-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is the gold standard for infectious disease diagnostics. However, PCR technology requires highly trained staff ...

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 ...
