RNA Amplification

RNA amplification is a laboratory process used to make many copies of a specific RNA molecule from a small initial amount. This helps scientists analyze gene expression or detect the presence of certain organisms. The process involves converting RNA into DNA (called reverse transcription), then copying the DNA multiple times through a technique called amplification (like PCR). This results in a larger sample, making it easier to study or identify the original RNA. RNA amplification is essential in research and diagnostics, enabling detailed analysis of gene activity and pathogen detection from limited samples.
