PCR, as polymerase chain reaction is known, was one step on the way to the current status of biochip technology. A Nobel-prize winning discovery, Kary Mullis’s polymerase chain reaction (PCR), first described in 1983, allowed researchers to amplify minute amounts of DNA to quantities where it could be detected by standard laboratory methods. A further [...]
