Reactants: (dNTPs, template DNA (to be amplified), primers(bind to DNA to begin elongation of strand), DNA Polymerase (elongate DNA), & MgCl2) in buffer + H2O
mgcl2 acts as a cofactor for the DNA polymerase used and is necessary for efficient functioning of the pcr
According to Roche website, different additives allow optimization to increase yield and specificity of PCR reactions. DMSO, for instance, is reported to reduce nonspecific priming, while gelatin and glycerol stabilize Taq DNA polymerase during PCR, which generally increases the yield.
Pcr serves to transfer an electric charge to the surface of photo conductor drum located in toner cartrige, the pcr is in contact with opc drum as drum turns,any loosr deposits on pcr transfarred to the drum
types of pcr: AFLP -PCR. Allele-specific PCR. Alu-PCR. Assembly -PCR. Assemetric -PCR. Colony -PCR. Helicase dependent amplification. Hot start pCR. Inverse -PCR. Insitu -pCR. ISSR-PCR. RT-PCR(REVERSE TARNSCRIPTASE). REAL TIME -PCR
It generates larger amounts of dna from tiny amounts
PCR is a biotechnological method to amplify your gene (DNA) of your interest. It produce millions of your DNA fragments hence used in cloning. There are variants of this method using the same thermocycling principle such as touch down PCR, gradient PCR, RFLP, multiplex PCR, Q PCR, RT PCR and so on.
dNTP's are the building blocks for new strands.
The use of dNTP is PCR and multiplex PCR
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction.
The role of PCR primer design is to expand a few or a single copies of DNA across several orders of DNA. You basically make a lot of copies and use them for research. Attached are links to video webinars and primer design tools. They were made by IDT, or Integrated DNA technology. They are a company that leads the industry in this research.
to check is there any contamination in pcr products
It Inhibits the PCR reaction by chelating the magnesium ions.
