Polymerase chain reaction tests, known as PCR, are the most common and most accurate tests for determining whether someone is currently infected with the novel coronavirus.

Once scientists have zeroed in on a specific segment of DNA, how do they produce enough copies of that segment for their research? In most cases, the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is their ...

PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a revolutionary molecular biology technique that allows for the rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences. It is an essential tool in various fields, ...

With PCR, scientists compare a sample taken from a suspected patient, say, of saliva, that would contain the virus if the person is infected. They then extract the genetic material, RNA, transcribe it ...
