The most sensitive technique available for detecting and quantifying messenger RNA is:
A) Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
B) Standard PCR
C) Nested PCR
D) Reverse-transcription PCR

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most sensitive technique available for detecting and quantifying messenger RNA is reverse-transcription PCR.The method uses an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to synthesize a complementary strand of DNA from an RNA template.The resulting cDNA is then used as a template in a PCR assay.
