PCR Primed To Spur Chain Of Applications
Holly Ahern | Jun 25, 1995 | 10+ min read
What would you do if your research interests revolved around obtaining DNA from a bacterium preserved for millions of years in the gut of a bee stuck in amber, matching up a murderer to crime- scene blood half a century old, or cloning genes from a 1,000- year-old mummy? Most scientists would first consider PCR--the polymerase chain reaction--as a technique for approaching problems such as these. With PCR, minute quantities of nucleic acids can be amplified millions of times into sufficient qua
'Limitless' PCR Technology Offers Scientists Vast Variety Of Applications
Holly Ahern | Feb 4, 1996 | 10 min read
With the introduction of the polymerase chain reaction by Nobelist Kary Mullis and other scientists with the former Cetus Corp. in 1985, researchers can amplify their minute samples into a virtually unlimited supply of material to study.

A New Symbiosis For MD's And Scientists
Ricki Lewis | Jun 21, 1992 | 7 min read
Advances in molecular biology foster greater interdependency among physicians, researchers The province of the scientist traditionally has been one of theory and experiment, exploration and discovery--contrasting sharply with the practical concerns of the physician. But times have changed. Today, physicians find themselves in need of knowledge in such esoteric matters as the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment-length polymorphism maps. Meanwhile, scientists are having to acqua
Innovations Expand Lab Power, Uses Of PCR Technique
Ricki Lewis | Jul 25, 1993 | 8 min read
The gene amplification technique invented by genetics researcher Kary Mullis on a moonlit drive through the northern California hills a decade ago--the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-- continues to revolutionize the life sciences. Uses in molecular biology research and in diagnostic tests are proliferating, and PCR is even bringing a new molecular approach to such fields as paleontology and epidemiology. The following companies are among those supplying PCR-related products for the resear
Transfer Factor In AIDS Patients
Dimitri Viza | Apr 27, 1997 | 3 min read
Further to the letter by H.H. Fudenberg appearing in The Scientist of Feb. 17, 1997 [page 13], we would like to point out that, although we agree with his overall contention regarding the beneficial effects of transfer factor even on advanced-stage AIDS patients, our polymerase chain reaction (PCR) data, albeit limited, do not confirm his equally limited observations, suggesting a dramatic drop in the PCR counts. In our experience, only one out of three patients showed an important decrease in
Two Americans Win 1993 Japan Prizes, Astronomical Society Honors Young Researcher, Researchers Share Environment Prize
Ron Kaufman | Mar 7, 1993 | 5 min read
Frank Press, outgoing president of the National Academy of Sciences, and chemist Kary B. Mullis, inventor of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), have been selected as winners of the 1993 Japan Prize. Press and Mullis will each receive 50 million yen (about $385,000), a gold medal, and a certificate from the Science and Technology Foundation of Japan during a ceremony to be held at the National Theatre in Tokyo on April 28. The award has been given since 1985 in two categories that change annua
Infectious Diseases Expert To Head National AIDS Unit
The Scientist Staff | Sep 17, 1989 | 5 min read
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has named George W. Counts as head of the newly established Clinical Research Management Branch in the Treatment Research Program of NIAID’s Division of AIDS. Prior to the appointment, Counts, 54, had been a professor of medicine at the University of Washington, Seattle, since 1975. He also served as director of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seat- tle from 1985 to 1989. Co
