DNA Testing Glossary
- PCR
- PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction, a way of amplifying DNA so that unlimited copies may be produced from the original DNA sample. The technique employs DNA polymerase, an enzyme which helps to facilitate the replication of DNA to carry over genetic information to new cells as a cell divides and multiplies. This method of reproducing DNA in a laboratory is both a fast and efficient way to ensure there is ample DNA for analysis.
