Automating Viral RNA Genotyping System Streamlines PCR Workflow
A new polymerase chain reaction viral genotyping system provides rapid, effective, and efficient automated genetic sequencing of viruses. The new system has been shown to sequence automatically 40 RNA samples across 192 genes in just 11 hours. More...25 Mar 2010
Many HIV Screening Tests Yield False-Positive Results
A positive screening test for human immunodeficiency virus means only that there are antibodies present either to HIV or to something that cross-reacts with it. The test does not mean that a person has or will get acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. More...23 Mar 2010
