PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a technique in molecular genetics that permits the analysis of any short sequence of DNA (or RNA) even in samples containing only minute quantities of DNA or RNA. PCR is used to reproduce (amplify) selected sections of DNA or RNA for analysis. Previously, amplification of DNA involved cloning the segments of inter [..]

A laboratory method used to make many copies of a specific piece of DNA from a sample that contains very tiny amounts of that DNA. PCR allows these pieces of DNA to be amplified so they can be detecte [..]

A key technique in molecular genetics to rapidly copy a short section of DNA or RNA for analysis without having to clone it.

Polymerase chain reaction, a technique used in a number of laboratory tests.

A measurement of the level of protein in the urine.

Methods for using more than one primer set in a Polymerase Chain Reaction to amplify more than one segment of the target DNA sequence in a single reaction.

Methods used for detecting the amplified DNA products from the Polymerase Chain Reaction as they accumulate instead of at the end of the reaction.

A variation of the PCR technique in which cDNA is made from RNA via Reverse Transcription. The resultant cDNA is then amplified using standard PCR protocols.

A laboratory method used to make many copies of a specific DNA sequence. Also called polymerase chain reaction.

A method for copying (‘amplifying’) specific sequences of nucleotides in DNA; a modified form of the process is used for copying sequences in RNA.

PCR is an abbreviation for POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION, a molecular biology technique for amplifying (or copying) a piece of DNA many times in the lab.

Polymerase Chain Reaction. A method of amplifying a targeted region of DNA. This can be used to identify the presence of specific gene sequences of a target such as Borrelia burgdorferi

Polymerase chain reaction

A laboratory technique by which the number of copies of a DNA sequence is increased by replication in vitro.

Polymerase Chain Reaction. A method of amplifying specific DNA segments based on hybridization to a primer pair. A DNA sample is denatured by heating in the presence of a vast molar excess of short single-stranded DNA primers (around 20 nucleotides) whose sequence is chosen based on the target sequence. The reaction mixture also contains a thermost [..]

polymerase chain reaction. PCR is a method to test for HCV RNA, the actual viral material of hepatitis C. There are two types of test for HCV RNA by PCR. Qualitative tests give a positive or negative result and are recommended for patients who are anti-HCV positive with normal ALT levels and to determine response to treatment. Quantitative tests gi [..]
