Amplification of DNA

The video tutorial explains the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a laboratory process that amplifies DNA. Through repeated heating and cooling with specific enzymes, PCR can increase DNA quantities by a million-fold in a few hours. This technique is crucial in medical and biological research, as well as forensic science, for generating significant DNA amounts from small samples.
