-
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.

To begin your recombination study you will be performing a protocol called the Polymerase

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.
