PCR - The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allows a single, small, specific area of DNA to be copied numerous times. This process amplifies, with great specificity, single copies of DNA turning a single copy of target DNA in to millions of copies that can then be visualized. The sensitivity and specificity of PCR assays makes it and accentual tool in today's Medical Diagnostic world. - Animation
