In this video from Thermo Fisher Scientific, a few tips for better PCR primer design are presented. PCR, Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a common and vital part of genetic studies, biomedical research ...
Designing reproducible PCR assays involves optimizing multiple moving targets, from standardizing each component in sometimes minute reaction volumes to planning ahead to ensure long-term and secure ...
ProbeLibrary, a fast, specific and flexible format for quantitative real-time PCR, is described. The ProbeLibrary concept is based on the fact that just 90 short probes provide transcriptome-wide ...
GeneFisher—fishing for genes, perhaps? Fishing genes out of genomes? Just fishing? The subtitle, Interactive PCR Primer Design, “hooked me” (get it?) but it shouldn’t have in retrospect. After all, ...
The key to an optimal PCR experiment is primer design. In general, primers should be between 18 and 24 nucleotides long and have a GC content between 40 and 60 percent. Ideally primers should contain ...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus known to cause infections in mucous membranes and skin, typically resulting in warty lesions. While often benign, these lesions do have the potential to ...
