In molecular biology, real-time polymerase chain reaction, also called quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or kinetic polymerase chain reaction, is a laboratory technique based on the polymerase chain reaction, which is used to amplify and simultaneously quantify a targeted DNA molecule. It enables both detection and quantification (as absolute number of copies or relative amount when normalized to DNA input or additional normalizing genes) of a specific sequence in a DNA sample.

I guess food is just a little scarce — the closest fast food chain, Quiznos, is 1.5 miles away. There are small pizza shops around, but are closed on Sunday. Ugh. Thank God Domino’s delivers (well Pizza Hut and Papa John’s didn’t)

I actually flew on a big — 737 — plane today! Mm: it was roomy, quiet, and had seat-back entertainment systems. Free satellite TV and music.

Oh the luxury.

What's in a blog? Not much -- anyone can write reviews, rants, and raves. But what about a Tumblog -- complete with photos, videos, quotes -- which shows some personality. Now there's something to consider.
