Summary
In this video, we delve into the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), a powerful technique for creating multiple copies of a specific DNA sequence. PCR involves three key steps: denaturation to separate the DNA strands, annealing to allow primers to bind to the target sequence, and extension where DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands. By harnessing the capabilities of special DNA polymerases, PCR enables the amplification of DNA fragments from minuscule starting material, revolutionizing genetic research and diagnostics.
Introduction to DNA Fragment Insertion
In the previous lesson, we learned how to insert a DNA fragment of interest into a bacterial cell using recombinant plasmids.
PCR Amplification Method
Exploration of a method to amplify a specific DNA sequence using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). PCR allows the production of DNA fragments from small starting amounts.
PCR Procedure
Detailed explanation of the steps involved in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) process, including denaturation, annealing, and extension, along with the use of special DNA polymerase.
