Abstract
Over the last 15 years, PCR has become an essential part of most laboratories involved in biomedical research. PCR amplification turns a few attograms of a specific fragment of nucleic acid (far too little to be analyzed directly or used in biochemical reactions) into as much as a microgram of DNA.
