What is Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)?
Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is a molecular biology technique that combines reverse transcription of RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) and subsequent amplification of specific DNA targets using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This method is highly sensitive and allows for the detection and quantification of RNA expression levels in a variety of samples.
