Uncovering Genetic Disorders Through PCR
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) enables DNA amplification that is an essential part of genotyping. Through genotyping, DNA sequence variations in an individual can be determined, and genetic disorders or diseases are identified. PCR’s ability to target specific segments in genetic material means that PCR testing can be used to identify even trace segments of targeted […]
Air Science Purair PCR Laminar Flow Cabinet for Genotyping
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) mimics the same DNA replication process that happens within cells. The process, developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis, allows scientists to quickly reproduce identical genetic material from small, specific segments of genetic material.1 PCR is performed in a thermocycler which uses multiple heating and cooling cycles to cause chemical reactions that […]
