PCR 1

Relatively simple to perform, yet extremely diverse in its applications, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become an important tool in many areas of biomedical research. It enables scientists to produce large quantities of DNA from minute amounts of starting material. This book provides a general introduction to PCR for researchers new to the area. It covers gene analysis at the level of restriction enzyme polymorphism, point mutation and sequence analysis. Methods for using different sourc…
