LPU scientist develops novel technology for DNA amplification

                  Parallel DNA polymerase chain Reaction (PD-PCR): Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the revolutionary techniques which almost every molecular biology lab use for their specific application. Kary Mullis received the Nobel Prize in 1993 for this technique. Due to its high impact and application in biotechnology research, Kary Mullis was awarded the Nobel Prize within 8 years of its publication. In the same year, Richard J Roberts and Phillip A Sharp received the Nobel Prize for discovery of “split genes”, after waiting for 16 years. This will give you some idea of immense impact PCR has had worldwide. PCR is based upon utilizing the capability of DNA polymerase to synthesize new strand of DNA complementary to the offered template strand. This revolutionary technology has allowed researchers to advance their understanding...
