Do you want to learn what is DNA, and how do scientists make more DNA from a small amount of DNA? The technique to make more DNA from a small amount of DNA is called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). This course will introduce polymerase chain reaction technique to make millions or billion copies of DNA from a very tiny amount of DNA in the science laboratory. You might be wondering why do we need to make many copies of DNA. The reason we need more DNA is that the DNA samples we get in the laboratory for testing is not enough.

S14419: What is DNA: Structure and Function in Spark 2021 (Mar. 13 - 27, 2021)
What is DNA? What are PCR and short tandam repeat? How do we use DNA to identify people? To make a DNA molecule you need: nitrogenous bases—there are four of these: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), guanine (G); carbon sugar molecule; and phosphate molecules. DNA has two main functions: 1. identify a person from another person 2. make protein
