How accurate are singleplex reactions compared to multiplex reactions in real time PCR assays?

I've never done RT PCR assays before. I'm an independent researcher and am worried that multiplex assays are more expensive than singleplex. However, I'm not sure singleplex assays will give...

Is it normal, for a virus and its host, to have too different codon usages?

Codon usage of a virus must coevolve with its host for the virus to use the host machinery more efficiently and therefore replicate faster. When the codon usage of a virus becomes too deviated...

Juan Antonio Giménez Bastida

You can separate culture medium from bacteria by centrifugation. After centrifugation, you will have:

- The pellet (bacteria) to extract the DNA or RNA

- The culture medium to measure the concentration of arginine.

Best regards.

Thank you so much sir!

You are welcome!
