Analysis of Gongylonema Ingluvicola by Real-Time PCR Method (CAT#: STEM-MB-3048-LGZ)

Introduction

Gongylonema ingluvicola is a type of nematode (roundworm) that, as adults, are slender-shaped, yellow, brown to red in color, between 6-14cm (2.4-5.5in) in length.<br />A real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR,or qPCR) is a laboratory technique of molecular biology based on the polymerase chain reaction(PCR). It monitors the amplification of a targeted DNA molecule during the PCR(i.e.,in real time), not at its end, as in conventional PCR.<br />Two common methods for the detection of PCR products in real-time PCR are(1)non-specific fluorescent dyes that intercalate with any double-stranded DNA and (2)sequence-specific DNA probes consisting of oligonucleotides that are labelled with a fluorescent reporter, which permits detection only after hybridization of the probe with its complementary sequence.
