PCR?

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) - DNA amplification

Definition: PCR is a method for amplifying segments of DNA, by generating multiple copies using DNA polymerase enzymes under controlled conditions. As little as a single copy of the DNA segment or gene can be cloned into millions of copies, allowing detection using dyes and other visualization techniques.

We will now look at a short clip to understand how PCR works.
