Variants of PCR — This page assumes familiarity with the terms and components used in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) process. The versatility of PCR has led to a large number of variants: Contents 1 Basic modifications 2 Pretreatments and extensions 3 Other… … Wikipedia
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends — RACE, or Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, is a technique used in molecular biology to obtain the partial sequence of an RNA transcript found within a cell. RACE results in the production of a DNA copy of the RNA sequence of interest, produced… … Wikipedia
rapid amplification of DNA ends — (= RACE; 3&’ RACE; 5&’ RACE) Techniques, based on the polymerase chain reaction, for amplifying either the 5&’ end (5&’ RACE) or 3&’ end (3&’ RACE) of a cDNA molecule, given that some of the sequence in the middle is already known. The two… … Dictionary of molecular biology
Polymerase chain reaction — PCR redirects here. For other uses, see PCR (disambiguation). A strip of eight PCR tubes, each containing a 100 μl reaction mixture The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single or a… … Wikipedia
SNP genotyping — is the measurement of genetic variations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between members of a species. It is a form of genotyping, which is the measurement of more general genetic variation. SNPs are one of the most common types of… … Wikipedia
