PCR articles
PCR is an abbreviation for "polymerase chain reaction". PCR is a method for amplifying DNA. So if you have one molecule of DNA you can increase it to thousands of molecules within a few hours. This is achieved using an enzyme called DNA polymerase and the raw material or "building blocks" of DNA. The enzyme copies the original DNA molecule to make two molecules. Then it copies each of these molecules to provide a total of four molecules. Then these four molecules are copied to give a total of eight DNA molecules. And so on ...Subscribe to headline updates
