PCR amplification Insights

What is PCR amplification?

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification is a technique used to create many copies of a specific DNA segment. It involves repeated cycles of heating and cooling to denature the DNA, annealing primers to the target sequence, and extending the primers with a DNA polymerase. It's commonly used in molecular biology, diagnostics, and forensics to amplify DNA for further analysis.

cloning

Cloning, specifically DNA cloning, is often used to propagate the amplified DNA fragment generated by PCR. The PCR product can be inserted into a vector and then cloned in bacteria for further use (e.g., sequencing, protein expression).
