Enzymatic reaction and Q10
The book below (refering to enzymatic reactions)  says:
 "...cooling to 200K reduces its speed by six orders of magnitude.An intermediate with a lifetime of 1ms at room temperature may thus be stable for a few hours at 200K."

STR - CHARACTERISATION AND PRIMER DESIGN


Introduction

Successful PCR experimentation depends crucially on primer design and characterisation.  Poor primer design can lead to a series of problems that can result in, for example, no amplification, poor amplification or the amplification of multiple targets.

Hi guys,

So I've spent a few days reviewing the genetic tools used in labs, but can't quite find the distinction between a few of the methods.

1. RT-PCR is used to determine if a specific gene is expressed; however, RNA-seq appears to do the same thing. I understand that RT-PCR uses a specific primer and thus tests the expression of one gene. Does RNA
