And then DNA polymerase moves in and rebuilds the matching half ... So at the very start zero time what you see are just bright white spots on a black background. And each one of those spots is a DNA ...

Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a laboratory technique used to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA. PCR is very precise and can be used to amplify, or copy, a specific DNA target from a ...

Taq polymerase is the heat-stable (thermostable) DNA polymerase extracted from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus aquaticus. Its predominant function is in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR ...

RNA polymerase is a multi-unit enzyme that synthesizes RNA molecules from a template of DNA through a process called transcription. The transcription of genetic information into RNA is the first step ...

Forensic DNA profiling uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify short tandem repeats (STRs), which are highly variable DNA regions, typically with four repeating bases. This variability helps ...

Researchers show that polymerase theta can efficiently convert RNA sequences back into DNA, a feat more common in viruses than eukaryotic cells. Editor's Note: Thomas Jefferson University issued ...
