Kary Banks Mullis (1944-) was bom in rural Lenoir, North Carolina did undergraduate work at Georgia Tech. and ieceived his Ph.O. at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1973. From 1979 to 1986 he worked at Cetus Corp., where his wor on developing PCR was carried out. Since 1988, he has followed his own drummer as self-employed consultant and writer.

Kary Mullis, a chemist working for Cetus Corporation, develops polymerase chain reaction, a technique subsequendy used to amplify and detect tiny amoimts of DNA such as that available from ancient sources. 

Taq polymerase is useful in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the European patent rights for the PCR process and Taq polymerase were sold by Cetus in the early 1990 s to Hoffmann La Roche for approximately 300 milhonUS dollars. 

Kaiy Mullis and others at Cetus Corporation in Berkeley, California, invented a technique for multiplying DNA sequences in vitro by, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR has been called the most revolutionary new technique in molecular biology in the 1980s. Cetus patented the process, and in the summer of 1991 sold the patent to Hoffmann La Roche. Inc. for 300 million.
