PCR - Polymerase Chain Reaction (IQOG-CSIC)

PCR technique (Polymerase Chain Reaction), Animation.
It is a technique used to make multiple copies of a DNA segment of interest, generating a large amount of copies from a small initial simple.
Amplification of DNA segments makes possible the detection of pathogenic virus or bacteria, identification of individuals (DNA fingerprinting), and several scientific research involving DNA manipulation.
