In the meantime, here's a sneak peek, just a small sliceâthe first part of a 2-part excerpt from the addendum of Grantsmanship: Program Planning & Proposal Writing. The topic is the difference between a planning and an implementation (or program) grant proposal. Enjoy!
What is PCR (polymerase chain reaction)? Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify trace amounts of DNA (and in some instances, RNA) located in or on almost any liquid or surface where DNA strands may be deposited.
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), is the technique used to detect small amounts of DNA and make enough copies of it to be detectable.All cells, bacteria and viruses contain DNA that is unique to them.he prepared sample is then added to a PCR mixture containing small pieces of DNA (primers) which match the DNA we are testing for, building blocks of DNA, and a polymerase enzyme which can join the blocks together to make copies of DNA.
