RT-PCR (Reverse Transcriptase PCR)

in hive-175254 •  3 years ago 

Accordingly, RT-PCR, also known as Reverse Transcriptase PCR, is a variation of the polymerase chain reaction that typically measures RNA expression levels. In RT-PCR, complementary DNA (cDNA) is said to be made by reverse transcribing of the RNA templates with the enzyme reverse transciptase.

This technique is used to qualitatively study gene expression, and could be combined with real time PCR (qPCR) to quantify RNA levels. RT-PCR is used in research laboratories to study gene expression, for example in experiments to distinguish exons from introns, and might be used clinically to diagnose genetic diseases and monitor drug therapy. RT-PCR potentially requires an RNA template, enzyme, nucleotides, buffers and thermocyclers to potentially produce RT-PCR products. Check disclaimer on profile and landing page.

The result is a brand new strand of DNA and a double-stranded molecule of DNA.

Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a relatively simple and inexpensive technique to determine the expression level of target genes and is widely used in biomedical science research including nanotoxicology studies for semiquantitative analysis.

accordingly, it has proved to be an indispensable technique used for numerous medical and biological applications.
