COVID-19’s danger lay in its invisibility. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is highly contagious and can be passed on by people with light or no symptoms, making it extremely difficult to track and contain. But ...

PCR-Machines are based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and produce copies of genes exponentially. The PCR cycling reactions are carried out in an automated thermocycler, which is capable of heating ...

A poor man's approach to genotyping for research and high-throughput diagnostics. Genotyping with microsatellite markers was first described by Litt and Luty, and is now a widely used method in ...

Since the emergence of COVID-19 in late 2019, the gold standard in testing for the disease has been a nuclear-derived technique: real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, or real-time ...
