Polymerase Chain Reaction [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2013 The advent of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) radically transformed biological science from the time it was first discovered (Mullis, 1990). For the first time, it allowed for specific detection and production of large amounts of DNA. PCR-based strategies have propelled huge scientific endeavors such as the Human Genome Project.

Polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
BMJ, 1997 The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was devised just over a decade ago, yet it is already an integral part of much biological and medical research. A glance at current journal articles shows that it is also being used to develop new diagnostic tests, which are already having an impact on clinical practice.

Polymerase Chain Reaction [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2019 The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) underlies almost all of modern molecular cloning. Using PCR, a defined target sequence that occurs once within a DNA of high complexity and large size—an entire mammalian genome, for example—can be rapidly and selectively amplified in a quasi-exponential chain reaction that generates millions of copies.

P53 tumour-suppressor gene mutations are mainly localised on exon 7 in human primary and metastatic prostate cancer. [PDF]
, 1996 Mutations in the p53 tumour-suppressor gene are among the most common genetic alterations in human cancers. In the present study we analysed the mutations in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene in 25 primary and 20 metastatic human prostate cancer specimens ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a ...
