applications of polymerase chain reaction.(PCR)?

Answer 1

PCR has numerous uses... from diagnosing a genetic disease, doing DNA fingerprinting, finding bacteria and viruses, studying human evolution... to cloning the DNA of an Egyptian mummy. PCR has become an essential tool for biologists, DNA forensics labs, and many other laboratories that study genetic material.

Answer 2

There are numerous applications!! PCR is slightly modified to suit the application.Applications are as follows:
1.Used for amplifying any gene for cloning.
2.RT PCR used for getting genes from mRNA sequence.
3.Long PCR used for amplifying very long gene sequences.
4.Real Time PCR used for detectiong stage of any bacterial infection from any sample.
5.Nested PCR for getting gene whose position is uncertain in a given sequence.

Better you refer to some Genetic Engg. Text book .

Answer 3

PCR has many real-world applications.

DNA fingerprinting for crime scenes
Paternity tests
Disease identification
bacteria or fungal identification
Testing people for hereditary diseases
Screening animals for breeding purposes

Just to name but a few. The first two answers are right in the lab setting, I'm assuming you are looking for the real-world applications.

Answer 4

PCR is used for much more advanced applications than for linking up two DNA molecules!

Answer 5

I use PCR to do the following things:
1 - to amplify a region of DNA to sequence
2 - to amplify a region to DNA to clone
3 - check for presence/absence of a gene or region of DNA

Answer 6

forensic DNA analysis, paternity testing
