Question

X technique is now routinely used to detect HIV in suspected AIDs patients. It is being used to detect mutations in genes in suspected cancer patients too. It is a powerful technique to identify many other genetic disorders. Identify X-

• A. X=PCR
• B. X=DNA fingerprinting
• C. X-Bioinformatic
• D. X-X-ray defreaction

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

X=PCR

The development of molecular techniques that access viral load and the development of genotypic resistance have revolutionized the treatment of HIV disease. Commercially available viral load assays use a number of different approaches from reverse transcriptase PCR to amplification of branched chain DNA. New real-time PCR assays are under development, including LightCycler- and TaqMan-based tests. So, the correct answer is option A. ( X=PCR ).
