Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a primer-directed in vitro enzymatic reaction for the production of multiple copies of a specific DNA fragment found in a clinical sample. Strand displacement amplification, cleavage-based amplification, and hybrid capture assay are also molecular biology techniques but they are not primer-directed in vitro enzymatic reactions for DNA amplification.
