What is PCR (polymerase chain reaction)? Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify trace amounts of DNA (and in some instances, RNA) located in or on almost any liquid or surface where DNA strands may be deposited.
PCR is an abbreviation for Polymerase Chain Reaction. The polymerase chain reaction amplifys the amount of DNA you have in a sample. It does this by repeatedly heating and coo â¦ ling the DNA.Abbr. PCR) A technique for amplifying DNA sequences in vitro by separating the DNA into two strands and incubating it with oligonucleotide primers and DNA polymerase. It â¦ can amplify a specific sequence of DNA by as many as one billion times and is important in biotechnology, forensics, medicine, and genetic research.
