The multiplex PCR method was first described in 1988 as a method to detect deletions in the dystrophin gene (1). Using this method, you can amplify several DNA fragments within one reaction – enabling you to increase the throughput, saving time and money by reducing the number of reactions needed to test or screen your… Read article →
Genotyping is an integral part of any research – whether you are studying cancer, neurodegenerative diseases or the microbiome. The process of running multiple Southern blots and taking days for analyzing the genetic makeup is now history, as technology has grown rapidly in the last decade. Some of the key genotyping techniques now available include:… Read article →
