Special Issue on Application of Quantitative Real-Time PCR
A real-time polymerase chain reaction is a laboratory technique of
molecular biology, which is used to amplify or simultaneously detect a targeted
DNA molecule. Compared to standard PCR, its key feature is that the amplified
DNA is detected as the reaction progresses in "real time". Diagnostic
quantitative PCR can rapidly detect nucleic acids that are diagnostic of infectious
diseases, cancer, genetic abnormalities, etc. The introduction of quantitative
PCR assays to the clinical microbiology laboratory has significantly improved
the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Thus it is not surprising that Quantitative Real-Time PCR has attracted
researchers’ attention continually.
In
this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to
submit original researches and review articles on exploring application of quantitative real-time PCR.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Basic principles and mechanism
-
Types of quantitative PCR technique
-
Quantitative PCR instruments
-
Applications
-
Limitations
-
Genome research
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an
electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission
System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript
title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue –Application of Quantitative Real-Time PCR”
should be chosen during your submission.
According to the following timetable:
