"The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method using molecular biology for amplifying DNA without using a living organism. It is commonly used in medical and biological research laboratories for such things as detection of hereditary disease, identification of genetic fingerprints, the diagnosis of infectious diseases, the cloning of genes and paternity testing.
