Abstract:
Since the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was developed in 1986 (1), it has found wide application in molecular biology and is now regarded as an irreplaceable tool in many laboratories. This chapter will deal with its use for the detection of virus genomes for diagnostic and experimental purposes.

Overview
Real Time RT-PCR
Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.
