Virology
PCR is a widely used molecular biology technique that amplifies specific DNA sequences, allowing researchers to generate millions of copies from a small initial sample. This process involves repeated cycles of denaturation, annealing, and extension, making it essential for various applications in virology, including the detection of viral genomes from pathogens like papillomaviruses and polyomaviruses.
congrats on reading the definition of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). now let's actually learn it.
