Despite its utility, PCR’s main limitation is that it requires precise cycles of heating and cooling to amplify DNA. The thermal cyclers that perform this operation are clunky, relatively expensive, ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio—Case Western Reserve University researchers have developed a new method of DNA testing—one they say could greatly expand its uses in medical research. The method rapidly and accurately ...

Promising new inroads into critical DNA testing has been forecast by Flinders University experts who have applied machine learning to DNA profiling. From medical diagnostics to forensic tests and ...

A rapid, highly accurate test has been developed for diagnosing hepatitis C virus (HCV), according to a study published online Dec. 10 in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. A comprehensive eight-year ...

Limited sample material and insufficient DNA input pose significant challenges for downstream analysis in various laboratory settings. To overcome this issue, isothermal amplification techniques have ...

Traditional sequencing is often likened to making a smoothie: researchers blend a bunch of cells, obtain an average sequence, and draw conclusions on the ingredients that comprise the slush. More ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a light-induced DNA ...
