What's Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)? ...Principal,Procedure,and more...
Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis, PCR is now a common
technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of tasks, such as the sequencing of genes and the diagnosis ofhereditary diseases, the identification of genetic fingerprints (used in forensics and paternity testing), the detection and diagnosis
of infectious diseases, and the creation of transgenic organisms. Mullis won the Nobel Prize for his work on PCR.
