-==Polymerase Chain Reaction protocol==
+{{Team:Newcastle/mainbanner}}
-Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify a single or few a copies of a piece of DNA generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
+=Polymerase Chain Reaction=
-# To avoid contamination, wear gloves
-# To achieve optimum results, always do everything on ice
-A basic PCR set up requires several components and reagents.These components include:
+==Aim==
-#DNA template that contains the DNA region (target) to be amplified.
-#Two primers that are complementary to the 3' (three prime) ends of each of the sense and anti-sense strand of the DNA target.
-#Taq polymerase or another DNA polymerase with a temperature optimum at around 70 °C.
-#Deoxynucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks from which the DNA polymerases synthesizes a new DNA strand.
-#Buffer solution, providing a suitable chemical environment for optimum activity and stability of the DNA polymerase.
