Nucleic Acid Amplification - The Polymerase Chain Reaction PCR

2 Nucleic Acid Amplification - The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) [Pg.146]

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is an in vitro technique that allows the enzymatic-catalysed amplification of specific nucleic acid sequences. The method was conceived by Kary Mullis in 1983, allegedly at the side of a California mountain road while he was resting. It was presented for the first time in 1986 at the 51 Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory Symposium on Quantitative Biology. In 1993, Mullis was awarded the Nobel Prize for his invention. [Pg.146]
