The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a revolutionary method for amplifying DNA sequences. Developed by Kary Mullis in 1985, PCR has become an essential tool in molecular biology, forensics, and medical diagnostics. This presentation explores the PCR process, its applications, and its advantages and disadvantages.
• PCR involves three main phases: denaturation, hybridization, and polymerization
• It allows for rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences from small amounts of starting material
• Key applications include genetic fingerprinting, criminal forensics, and medical diagnostics
• PCR offers speed and automation but requires specific primers to initiate the reaction
