Real-time PCR can also be used to calculate the amount of specific kinds of genetic material other than DNA, such as RNA. This extension of real-time PCR technology, called reverse transcription ...

In order for a virus like the COVID-19 virus to be detected early in the body using real time RT–PCR, scientists need to convert the RNA to DNA. This is a process called ‘reverse transcription’. They ...
