Kary B. Mullis developed the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983. Earlier methods
DNA polymerase used is temperature - insensitive (thermostable) enzyme extracted
extends the process. After the primers bind by complementary base pairing to the
used to separate double stranded DNA, therefore, replication need not be interrupted
piece of DNA quickly in a test tube. PCR is very speciic - the targeted DNA sequence
in a cell. It is considered a chain reaction because DNA polymerase will carry out

DNA strand, DNA polymerase copies the target DNA .
PCR does not replace gene cloning, which is still used whenever a large quantity of

Before carrying out PCR, primers - sequences of about 20 bases that are complementary

can be less than one part in a million of the total DNA sample. .This means that a single

PCR takes its name from DNA polymerase, the enzyme that carries out DNA replication
enzyme is also known as Taq polymerase. It can withstand high temperature, which is
by the need to add more enzyme. PCR is done these days in an automatic PCR machine
