Abstract

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a powerful new method for 'in vitro cloning'. It can selectively amplify a single molecule of template DNA several millionfold in a few hours and has made possible new approaches to problems in molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, and development.
