Real-time PCR, also known as quantitative PCR (qPCR), has been around since the mid-1990s. It gained popularity for its ability to monitor the amplification of DNA during the PCR process in real time, providing quantitative data on DNA or RNA targets.

What is a simple explanation of real time pcr?

Real-time PCR is a technique used to amplify and quantify specific DNA molecules in real time as the reaction is taking place. It measures the amount of DNA present in a sample during each cycle of the PCR process, allowing for accurate and sensitive detection of target DNA sequences. The results are generated in real time, enabling researchers to track the progress of the reaction as it happens.


How long have invertebrates been on earth?

If you include bacteria, then about 4 billion years. (The earliest KNOWN life is 3,5 billion years old, but it had probably been around longer). If you want multicellular organisms , then about 1.2 billion years. Cambrian time period.


How many midgets are there in the world?

I don't have access to real-time data, but the population of individuals with dwarfism, which includes conditions that may be referred to as "midgets," is estimated to be around 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 40,000 people worldwide. This population is diverse and includes individuals with various forms of skeletal dysplasia.
