Difference between Polymerase chain reaction and Tuberculosis

Polymerase chain reaction vs. Tuberculosis

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used in molecular biology to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a segment of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).

Similarities between Polymerase chain reaction and Tuberculosis

Polymerase chain reaction and Tuberculosis have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Gene, In vitro, Infection, Mummy, Mycobacterium, Nucleic acid test, Pathogen, Sputum.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

In vitro

In vitro (meaning: in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context.

Infection

Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce.

Mummy

A mummy is a deceased human or an animal whose skin and organs have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold, very low humidity, or lack of air, so that the recovered body does not decay further if kept in cool and dry conditions.

Mycobacterium

Mycobacterium is a genus of Actinobacteria, given its own family, the Mycobacteriaceae.

Nucleic acid test

A nucleic acid test (NAT) or nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) is a technique utilized to detect a particular nucleic acid, virus, or bacteria which acts as a pathogen in blood, tissue, urine, etc.

Pathogen

In biology, a pathogen (πάθος pathos "suffering, passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") or a '''germ''' in the oldest and broadest sense is anything that can produce disease; the term came into use in the 1880s.

Sputum

Sputum is mucus and is the name used for the coughed-up material (phlegm) from the lower airways (trachea and bronchi).

Polymerase chain reaction and Tuberculosis Comparison

Polymerase chain reaction has 180 relations, while Tuberculosis has 237. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 1.92% = 8 / (180 + 237).
