Watch this video to understand more about the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), a step in genetic testing that amplifies a small region of the genome.
In this video, Matt will introduce the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), an important step in genetic testing that amplifies a small region of the genome. This technique was invented in 1983 by Kary Mullis and underpins many of the genetic tests used in clinical diagnostic laboratories.
If you’re interested in learning more about how PCR works, you may wish to watch this animation, produced by the DNA Learning Centre.
