PCR, also known as polymerase chain reaction, is similar to the natural replication process of DNA. Its specificity depends on oligonucleotide primers that are complementary to the two ends of the target sequence. PCR consists of three basic reaction steps: denaturation-annealing-extension. This article details the experimental principles, experimental steps, primer design, result analysis, and the differences, experimental methods, and common problems of various PCRs (RT-PCR, Realtime-PCR, QPCR). |
