Introduction of RT-PCRRT PCR - Reverse transcription polymerase Chain reaction.
•Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is one of many variants of polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
•It was introduced in 1977 .
• The discovery of reverse transcriptase during the study of viral replication of genetic material led to the development of RT-PCR.
•RT-PCR is used to qualitatively detect gene expression through creation of complementary DNA (cDNA) transcripts from RNA.\
•This technique is commonly used in molecular biology to detect RNA expression.

RT-PCR Principles There are several types of RT PCR Principles.One step RT PCR• RT-PCR can also be carried out as one-step
RT-PCR in which all reaction components are mixed in one tube prior to initiation of the reaction.
• One-step RT-PCR offers simplicity and convenience and minimizes the possibility for contamination.
• The resulting cDNA cannot be used for detecting multiple messages from a single RNA sample as in two-step RT-PCR.
Two step RT PCR • Traditionally, RT-PCR involves two steps: the
RT reaction and PCR amplification.
• RNA is first reverse transcribed into complementary DNA ( cDNA ) using an enzyme, reverse transcriptase.
• The resulting cDNA is used as templates for subsequent PCR amplification using primers specific for one or more genes.
RT-PCR Principles Quantification of RT-PCR products can largely be divided into two categories: end-
point and real-time.
• End-point RT-PCR : measurement approaches of end-point RT-PCR detect gene expression levels by the use of fluorescent dyes like ethidium bromide, Phosphorus-32 labeling of PCR products using phosphorimager. End-point RT-PCR is commonly achieved using three different methods: relative, competitive and comparative.
• Real-time RT-PCR: the analysis and detection of PCR products in real-time has consequently led to the widespread adoption of real-time RT-PCR for the analysis of gene expression.
• There are four different fluorescent DNA probes for the detection of PCR products: SYBR Green, TaqMan, Molecular Beacons, and Scorpions. All of these probes allow the detection of PCR products by generating a fluorescent signal.

The exponential amplification via reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction provides for a highly sensitive technique in which a very low copy number of RNA molecules can be detected. RT-PCR is widely used in the diagnosis of genetic diseases and, semiquantitatively, in the determination of the abundance of specific different RNA molecules within a cell or tissue as a measure of gene expression.
•Research methods- For example, Lin et al. used qRT-PCR to measure expression of Gal genes in yeast cells. •Gene Insertion- RT-PCR can also be very useful in the insertion of eukaryotic genes into prokaryotes. RT-PCR is commonly used in studying the genomes of viruses whose genomes are composed of RNA, such as Influenzavirus A and retroviruses like HIV.•Genetic Disease Diagnosis- RT-PCR can be used to diagnose genetic disease such as Lesch–Nyhan syndrome. Also can be used as a test for bird flu- H7N9.•Cancer Detection- Scientists are working on ways to use RT-PCR in cancer detection to help improve prognosis, and monitor response to therapy•RT-PCR is commonly used in studying the genomes of viruses whose genomes are composed of RNA, such as Influenzavirus A and retroviruses like HIV.
