Why is DNA double stranded and RNA isn't? Why is PCR used in the process of DNA sequencing? Why are nucleic acids important? Why does DNA contain thymine instead of uracil? Why is cytosine used in DNA instead of uracil? Why are dideoxynucleotides used in DNA sequencing?
Why is PCR used in the process of DNA sequencing? What is the role of DNA electrophoresis in DNA fingerprinting? Why is gel electrophoresis important? Why does the degree of DNA packaging affect transcription? Why does DNA methylation occur?
What is the difference between PCR and nested PCR when we should use nested PCR? Conventional PCR (C-PCR) has been used to detect specific target genes in various microorganisms (5, 6, 13). Nested PCR (N-PCR) wasdeveloped to improve sensitivitybut can give erroneous positive results due t...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used to rapidly make millions to billions of copies (complete copies or partial copies) of a specific DNA
COVID-19 tests are in greater demand than ever, and new data about the Omicron variant can make picking and using different types of tests confusing. Molecular tests forCOVID-19, like the "RT-PCR" technology used by many laboratories — known as PCR tests — are widely considered the"gold...
particularly as cases of the virus surge and people queue up for testing. Unlike less accurate antigentests, which can be used at the point of care and deliver results within minutes, PCR tests typically require the use of lab equipment as well as technicians who are trained to process and ...
The genetic code is the set of rules used to translate the information encoded in genetic material into proteins and defines how sequences of three nucleotides specify an amino acid for protein synthesis. These sequences are called cod...
PCR PCR can identify the genes present in a sample and measure their expression, and is one of the most common techniques used in laboratories worldwide. Thistechnique is used for applications as diverse as clinical diagnosis, forensic science and paternity testing, and led t...
Our flexible systems can be used in a broad range of lab tasks – such as cell culture, assay set-up, NGS or PCR – thanks to their intuitive use and low running costs. This ensures our wide portfolio of manual and automated pipetting solutions will never be sitting in th...
