polymerase

• So this little thing here, polymerase, is essentially a supercomputer designed for replicating DNA. —  Saul Griffith on everyday inventions
• She then added the enzyme DNA-polymerase, triggering the polymerase chain reaction, which would cause the section she was interested in to be amplified, reproducing itself over and over again, doubling the quantity each time. —  Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Feb. 2002
• Perhaps the most important genetic advance we've seen so far, in terms of paleontology, is a little tongue-twister called the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). —  Omni: Fall 1995
• This divergent polymerase is associated with active genes, but does not elongate effectively beyond the promoter. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• The positive-sense bipartite single strand RNA genome consists of RNA-1 (5.9 kb), which codes for several non-structural proteins including the viral protease and polymerase, and RNA-2 (3.6 kb), which codes for the viral L and S capsid proteins and the movement protein —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
