A new study on genetic sequencing finds that DNA replication is not as accurate as was previously thought, which could impact a range of fields, from medicine to the study of evolution. DNA ...

Empirical Bioscience, (formerly known as Syzygy Biotech™), a company that produces high-grade PCR reagents and enzymes, announced today that it has introduced FlashTaq Hot-Start Taq DNA Polymerase, a ...

Enzymes are crucial for speeding up slow chemical reactions. Anyone who has worked in a genetics lab is familiar with a common enzyme called Taq polymerase, because it's a reliable workhorse that can ...

Anyone who has worked with DNA in the lab is probably (all too) familiar with a very special reaction, the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR. The technique allows one to make an enormous number of ...

To say that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has revolutionized the biological sciences is not an understatement. First developed in the early 1980s, the technique allows scientists to amplify DNA ...

PCR is a technique used to amplify target DNA in a sample. It’s a well-known method that has undergone numerous modifications to enhance its capabilities. This year, it’s turning 40 years old. PCR has ...
