A new study on genetic sequencing finds that DNA replication is not as accurate as was previously thought, which could impact a range of fields, from medicine to the study of evolution. DNA ...

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

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

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 ...

The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, or CDC, tweeted that "there’s a 10% chance" that people’s PCR tests were sent to laboratories across the country for genomic sequencing analysis.
