Direct PCR
Direct PCR: Direct PCR allows for amplification directly from the tissue source or crude extracts, without the need for DNA purification. Omitting the multi-step process for preparing genomic DNA helps prevent sample loss, saves time, and reduces cost. Direct PCR vastly simplifies genotyping experiments, especially when the source material is limited.
