In this laboratory "cook-book", the authors provide a concise guide to PCR-based techniques to quantify nucleic acids in biological and clinical samples using exclusively nonradioactive detection methods, e.g. HPLC, biotin and digoxigenin based protocols. Each method presentation also includes sections on theory, reagents, standards, applicability, limitations, and trouble shooting. In addition to the protocols, the authors also provide the necessary information on: general aspects of nucleic acid quantitation; design of PCR standards; mRNA purification; cDNA synthesis; solution hybridization; DNA sequencing. This laboratory guide enables professionals as well as beginners to adopt easily quantitative PCR protocols into their own clinical or biomedical research.
PCR Amplification of Viral DNA and Viral Host Cell mRNAs in Situ.- II. Quantitation.- 6. Quantitative PCR: An Overview.- 7. Quantification of DNAs by the Polymerase Chain Reaction Using an Internal Control.- 8.
Geneticists and molecular biologists have been interested in quantifying genes and their products for many years and for various reasons (Bishop, 1974).
The method is often cited as the most versatile, efficient method for nucleic acid analysis in research and analysis in the fields of Genetics and Oncology. Molecular analysis has never been easier!
In this updated second edition, leading researchers apply molecular diagnostics to the many recent advances that have occurred in polymerase chain reaction( PCR)-based technologies.
The simplest assay system involves the incorporation of a free dye into the newly formed double-stranded DNA product. The most used dye for this purpose in real-time PCR is SYBR® Green I (Molecular Probes/Invitrogen).
The last part of the book gives you an idea of an emerging digital PCR technique that is a unique qPCR approach for measuring nucleic acid, particularly suited for low level detection and to develop non-invasive diagnosis.
In no case a cross‐reaction neither unspecific amplicons was observed. For the http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/65738 positive controls, the primers generated specific fragments of appreciatively Polymerase Chain Reaction for Biomedical ...
James D. Watson When, in late March of 1953, Francis Crick and I came to write the first Nature paper describing the double helical structure of the DNA molecule, Francis had wanted to include a lengthy discussion of the genetic ...
