What the heck is PCR and primers??
Polymerase Chain Reaction or PCR as it stands is the most recognized method for amplifying the DNA (genetic material) of organisms for testing purpose. PCR forms the basis of tests such as DNA fingerprinting, paternity testing and inheritance study. Invented by Dr. Kary Mullis, PCR is one of the most important inventions of the 20th century in molecular biology. Insignificantly small amounts of DNA from humans or other living creatures can be amplified to be able to a identify a trait or an abnormality or ascertaining the susceptibility of humans towards diseases.
