The invention of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has inarguably revolutionized biological research. The technique leverages DNA replication machinery and processes to rapidly amplify specific DNA fragments of interest for detection and more detailed study. This has made it a staple for genotyping, genetic testing, pathogen detection, clinical diagnostics, and a multitude of other applications within the life sciences.
In this ebook, learn more about PCR—how it works, how to optimize it, and how it empowers researchers today.
