Digital PCR technology detects brain-tumour-associated mutation in cerebrospinal fluid
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers and their colleagues have used digital versions of a standard molecular biology tool to detect a common tumour-associated mutation in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with brain tumours. In their report, the investigators describe using advanced forms of the gene-amplification technology polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyse bits of […]
