Clinical Applications of PCR, 2d ed.1588293483 Clinical applications of PCR PCR polymerase chain reaction. PCR abbr. polymerase chain reaction Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) , 2d ed. Ed. by Y.M. Dennis Lo et al. Humana Press Inc. 2006 200 pages $99.50 Hardcover Methods in molecular medicine; 336 RB43 The number of clinical applications of polymerase chain reaction polymerase chain reaction (pŏl`ĭmərās') (PCR), laboratory process in which a particular DNA segment from a mixture of DNA chains is rapidly replicated, producing a large, readily analyzed sample of a piece of DNA; the process is (PCR) technique of molecular diagnostics has grown significantly in the years since the first edition this work due to advances such as real-time PCR and mass spectrometry, according to the editors (of the department of chemical pathology, Chinese U. of Hong Kong), who present 16 papers detailing step-by-step protocols describing some of these applications. Topics include DNA methylation analyses, in-cell PCR, analysis of PCR products by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography, use of real-time PCR for the detection of fetal aneuploidies, molecular analysis of circulating RNA RNA: see nucleic acid. RNA in full ribonucleic acid One of the two main types of nucleic acid (the other being DNA), which functions in cellular protein synthesis in all living cells and replaces DNA as the carrier of genetic in plasma, detection and quantitation of circulating plasmodium falciparum DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. by PCR, and genomic sequencing of the severe acute respiratory syndrome- coronavirus coronavirus /co·ro·na·vi·rus/ (ko-ro´nah-vi?rus) any virus belonging to the family Coronaviridae. Coronavirus /Co·ro·na·vi·rus/ (ko-ro´nah-vi?rus . The protocols include discussion of the principles underlying the techniques, lists of necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and pitfalls.
