Concept information
Preferred term
real-time polymerase chain reaction
Definition
- A real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR), also known as quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), is a laboratory technique of molecular biology based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It monitors the amplification of a targeted DNA molecule during the PCR (i.e., in real time), not at its end, as in conventional PCR. Real-time PCR can be used quantitatively (quantitative real-time PCR) and semi-quantitatively (i.e., above/below a certain amount of DNA molecules) (semi-quantitative real-time PCR). (Wikipedia)
