PCR technique




 PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, is a widely spread method it is used to rapidly make billions of copies of a specific DNA sample so in this way allow the scientists to take a very small sample of DNA and amplify it to a large enough amount to study in detail. 



 As the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease spreads across the world the hospital doctors used the PCR technique to detect this virus by getting either a negative or positive result. 
The steps of the PCR are :

1) Denaturation the separation of the double strand DNA 

2) Annealing the primers binds to each of the single-stranded DNA template 

3) Extension the DNA polymerase synthesizes a new DNA  strand complementary to the DNA template strand.
