  • Following extraction, the DNA needs to be amplified or copied so that there is an optimal amount for analysis, the technique is called Polymerase Chain Reaction PCR.

  • This is something known as Polymerase Chain Reaction.

  • It took the development of technology invented by Kary Mullis at Berkeley called Polymerase Chain Reaction—it’s similar to taking a photocopy of DNA so as to get it to reproduce—that allowed task force detectives to harvest just enough of the DNA left on a victim to match it with a Ridgway specimen that had been taken in 1987 during the midst of my conversations with Bundy.

  • As far as what the students do in the lab course, they take a gene from green glowing jellyfish, and move it into bacteria, using a multi-step process involving Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Ligation, and Transformation.

  • The jury will get a bewildering lesson in two types of DNA testing: Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP).

  • Such a 'shadow biosphere' could have a different molecular architecture and biochemistry than known life and would be undetectable with current techniques like microscopy, cell cultivation and Polymerase Chain Reaction amplification, the authors wrote.

  • The simple reason for this is unlike the more 'accurate' DNA replication enzymes, Pol I and III, Polymerase IV and V (interestingly, Pol V doesn't change that much in expression) doesn't even care if it has a template.
