Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a laboratory technique used to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA. PCR is very precise and can be used to amplify, or copy, a specific DNA target from a ...

In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for example ... This is accomplished by the triggered self-assembly of DNA nanostructures in a novel process they term hybridization chain reaction ...

(6) Continued exposure to harsh chemicals damages the DNA and reduces yields. Scientists use short oligonucleotides as primers for polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing, in DNA ...
