GlossaryPolymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

method to amplify DNA, creating millions of copies quickly

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a laboratory technique used to amplify small segments of DNA, making millions of copies from a tiny initial sample. This process is crucial for various applications, including genetic testing, forensic analysis, and diagnosing diseases, as it allows scientists to study DNA in greater detail.
