1 Breathe in deeply through your nose, expanding your abdomen and then filling your lungs with air. 2  Hold your breath for a couple of seconds. 3  Breathe out slowly through your mouth and empty your lungs completely.  Repeat for 5 to 10 minutes.
PCR is the enzymatic amplification of a specific DNA sequence in vitro9. This process uses multiple cycles of template denaturation, primer annealing, and primer elongation to amplify DNA sequences. It is an exponential process since the amplified products from each previous cycle serve as templates for the next cycle of amplification,
With each cycle of denaturing, annealing, and synthesis the specific DNA fragment is amplified exponentially. The basic idea is shown in the following figure. DNA synthesized during the first cycle has the 5' end of the primers and a variable 3' end.
