Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

Designing reproducible PCR assays involves optimizing multiple moving targets, from standardizing each component in sometimes minute reaction volumes to planning ahead to ensure long-term and secure ...

Today, PCR is ubiquitous in molecular biology laboratories. As one of the first experiments that young scientists master, it is easy to take for granted. But developing this research lab staple ...
