In general, a PCR is run to amplify and/or purify a segment of DNA. This is used extensively in forensics when there is little genetic evidence from the crime scene and more is needed to compare samples.
Polymerase chain reaction
Polymerase Chain Reaction
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction, a method used to amplify and copy small segments of DNA.
The polymerase used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is typically derived from a thermophilic bacterium called Thermus aquaticus. The specific polymerase most commonly used is Taq polymerase, which is known for its ability to withstand high temperatures required for PCR.

polymerase chain reaction
To bring about a polymerase chain reaction DNA sequences are placed in .2-.5ml reaction tubes and then placed in a thermal cycler. To achieve the reaction the sequences must undergo 20-40 temperature changes.
