What are the latest trends in Microbiology field?

<p>Due to the increasing demand for microbiology in almost every sector, advanced technologies are evolving through research.&nbsp;These are helping lives day-to-day solving life-threatening diseases and problems in the food industry. Clinical laboratory tests&nbsp;are progressing precisely because of recent inventions. Some new technologies in microbiology are:</p><ul><li><strong>Molecular Methods- </strong>Molecular techniques used in microbiology involve the manipulation and analysis of DNA, RNA,&nbsp;protein, and lipids. The benefits of molecular methods are improved sensitivity of detection, specificity of identification,&nbsp;and reduced turnaround time.</li><li><strong>Nucleic Acid Sequencing- </strong>Nucleic acid sequencing is the method to determine the sequential arrangement of nucleic acid&nbsp;bases. This allows researchers to identify changes in genes, links with diseases, and identify potential drug targets.</li><li><strong>Digital PCR- </strong>Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction methods are used to directly expand and amplify nucleic acid strands like&nbsp;DNA, cDNA, or RNA. Some of its applications are liquid biopsy, rare sequence detection, and gene expression.</li></ul>
