PCR is a cell-free test tube method for amplifying a target sequence of DNA. Which of the following is not required for PCR?
PCR is an in vitro method for the polymerase-directed amplification of specific DNA sequences using two oligonucleotide primers. The reaction components (e.g., template, primers, Taq polymerase,2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-triphosphates, and buffer) could all be assembled and the amplification reaction carried out by simply cycling the temperatures within the reaction tube.
