What Does NASBA Stand For?
NASBA stands for Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification
NASBA, or Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification, is a molecular biology technique used to amplify RNA sequences at an isothermal temperature. This method enables the rapid and sensitive detection of specific nucleic acids, making it particularly valuable in applications such as pathogen detection, gene expression analysis, and research in fields like virology and microbiology. NASBA utilizes specific primers and enzymes to facilitate the amplification process, allowing for the generation of significant quantities of target RNA, which can then be analyzed or quantified.
