Broad Range Bacterial PCR Testing
The 16s ribosomal RNA gene is a great example. It's present in every bacterial species. And specifically, here of 16s are our RNA for broad range PCR testing. So what is that? And how is that useful in this testing approach? Yeah, great question. Well, just the general approach, because before we get into the technical details and we talked about howPCR assays typically are designed to be very specific.
