What is PCR?
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
This bit of lab kit is used for amongst other things :
- DNA cloning
- Gene analysis
- Diagnosing hereditary disease
- Identifying genetic fingerprints (CSI anyone?)
