Definition

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a method used to amplify a small amount of DNA in order to allow scientist to study it in detail[1]. RNA can also be extracted from samples and converted into complimentary DNA (cDNA) for PCR amplification [4]. Primers are used to identify the location of the DNA in the sample.
