What is PCR? ▼ The polymerase chain reaction, or PCR for short, is a scientific method for quickly amplifying a specific DNA sequence into millions or billions of copies [1]. PCR selects a section of the genome to be amplified by utilizing short synthetic DNA fragments called primers. Multiple rounds of DNA synthesis are then used to amplify that segment [2]...
