What is real-time PCR?

Real-time PCR (also known as quantitative PCR or qPCR) is a laboratory technique used to amplify and quantify a targeted DNA molecule. It enables both detection and quantification of a specific DNA sequence in a sample. It is commonly used in molecular biology, diagnostics, and research for measuring gene expression, quantifying viral load, detecting pathogens, and performing genetic analysis.
