THINGS TO KNOW
ABOUT PCR TEST

BRIEF INTRO ABOUT PCR
TESTING

The abbreviation of PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction and also called molecular test. It’s a test that looks for genetic material from a certain organism and itt is very precise and sensitive.

HOW DOES PCR WORKS?

DNA DENATURES

To use PCR to amplify a segment of DNA, the sample is heated until the DNA denatures, or separates into two single-stranded DNA pieces

DNA REPLICATION

Then, using the original strands as templates, an enzyme called “Taq polymerase” synthesizes – or creates – two new strands of DNA.

DNA ELONGATION

After that, each of these strands can be used to make two more copies, and so on. Denaturing and synthesizing new DNA is repeated 30 or 40 times,

WHAT DOES PCR DO?

PCR is a very sensitive
technology for rapidly amplifying a specific DNA fragment.

PCR produces billions of copies of a specific DNA .fragment or gene, allowing gene sequences to be detected and identified using visual approaches based on size and charge

With real-time PCR techniques, modified versions of PCR have permitted
quantitative measures Quantitative PCR (qPCR), also known as real-time PCR or quantitative real-time PCR, is a PCR-based technique that combines the amplification of a target DNA sequence with the determination of that DNA species' concentration in a reaction.

is a method for determining the nucleotide sequence of DNA. The Sanger Sequence was created in 1977 by two-time Nobel Laureate Frederick Sanger and his collaborators, hence the name.
A complementary DNA primer to the template DNA (to be sequenced) is utilized as a starting point for DNA synthesis in Sanger sequencing..

WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SARS-CoV-2 IN PCR TEST?

The SARS-CoV-2 virus causes Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), an infectious disease.

For the SARS-CoV-2 virus, there are three types of tests:
molecular tests, antigen tests, and antibody tests. The molecular and antigen testing are the ones that are used to diagnose COVID-19. After complete recovery from COVID-19, antibody testing, often known as serology testing, is performed.

RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING Vs RT-PCR

COVID-19 rapid antigen tests are used to detect antigens or viral proteins in the body that trigger an immune response and indicate viral infection.

COVID-19 test kits, on the other hand, use real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect genetic material. As a result, RT-PCR remains the diagnosis since it more correctly confirms the presence of coronavirus and whether or not a person is infected.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PCR:

(RT-PCR) Reverse Transcriptase PCR

Real-time PCR

Quantitative real time PCR (Q-RT PCR)

Multiplex PCR

Nested PCR

Long-range PCR

Single-cell PCR

Fast-cycling PCR

Methylation-specific PCR (MSP)

Hot start PCR

High-fidelity PCR

WHY CHOOSE PCR TEST?

In medical and biological research labs, PCR is a common tool. It’s utilized in the early stages of DNA

processing for sequencing, to detect the presence or lack of a gene to aid in pathogen identification during producing forensic DNA profiles from small quantities of DNA, and during infection

KEY FEATURES OF PCR:

  • PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction, and it's a technique for making numerous copies of a specific DNA region in vitro (in a test tube rather than an organism).
PCR uses

a thermostable DNA polymerase, and DNA primers prepared especially for the DNA area of interest..
  • In PCR, the reaction is cycled via a series of temperature changes, allowing for the production of numerous copies of the target region.
  • There are numerous research and practical applications for PCR. It's common in DNA cloning, medical diagnostics, and forensic DNA analysis.
