PCR method
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a laboratory method in which a specific segment of genetic material is amplified by undergoing multiple rounds of DNA synthesis. PCR utilizes synthetic fragments of DNA, made up of a specific sequence of nucleotides, designed to select the desired segment of DNA.
