Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a common laboratory technique that used to prepare many copies (millions or billions!) of the desired gene or a particular region of DNA. This desire gene can be the interest of experiment. Typically, the aim of PCR is to produce enough of desired DNA region for analysis or another experiment purpose such as gel electrophoresis used to visualized PCR amplified DNA and use for cloning into a plasmid for further experiments. Thus, PCR has been used in many areas due to its advance and amplification feature in biology and medicine, including molecular biology research, medical diagnostics, and even some branches of ecology.
