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 ...

For people with suspected community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the emergency department (ED), routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing on lower respiratory tract samples led to faster and more ...

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 ...
