🔬 What is PCR?

PCR is a laboratory technique used to amplify specific segments of DNA. By creating millions of copies of a small DNA sample, PCR allows scientists and clinicians to detect, analyze, and study genetic material with high precision. It is widely used in medical diagnostics, forensic analysis, and genetic research.

🧬 Steps in PCR

• 1️⃣ Denaturation – The DNA sample is heated to separate the strands of the DNA.
• 2️⃣ Annealing – Short DNA primers bind to the target DNA sequences.
• 3️⃣ Elongation – The DNA polymerase enzyme adds new nucleotides to extend the DNA strand.
• 4️⃣ Amplification – The DNA is copied multiple times, exponentially increasing the amount of target DNA.
• 5️⃣ Detection – The amplified DNA is analyzed for further testing, identification, or research.

🏥 Importance of PCR Testing

PCR testing is essential for detecting diseases at an early stage by amplifying small amounts of DNA or RNA to detectable levels. This technique enables accurate diagnosis, faster response times, and targeted treatment. PCR is widely used in detecting infections, identifying genetic disorders, and researching genetic mutations.
