    method to convert RNA into DNA and amplify it

    Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is a laboratory technique used to convert RNA into DNA and then amplify specific DNA sequences. This method is crucial for studying gene expression, detecting RNA viruses, and diagnosing diseases, as it allows scientists to measure the amount of RNA in a sample by first transcribing it into complementary DNA (cDNA) and then amplifying it for analysis.
