DNA amplification
DNA amplification is a process used to create multiple copies of a specific segment of DNA. This technique is essential in various fields, including genetics, forensics, and medical diagnostics. One common method of DNA amplification is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), which involves repeated cycles of heating and cooling to separate the DNA strands and synthesize new copies.
The amplified DNA can then be analyzed for various purposes, such as identifying genetic disorders, matching DNA samples in criminal investigations, or studying genetic variations. By increasing the amount of DNA available, researchers can conduct more accurate and detailed analyses.
