Types of PCR: Complete Guide to Polymerase Chain Reaction Variants
Introduction to PCR
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is one of the most important techniques in molecular biology, enabling scientists to amplify specific DNA sequences. Since its invention by Kary Mullis in 1983, PCR has revolutionized diagnostics, genetics, forensic science, and biotechnology.
Today, several Types of PCR have been developed to address different research needs such as gene expression analysis, mutation detection, pathogen identification, and DNA quantification.
