In molecular biology,<unk>  <unk>  is a laboratory technique for amplifying a defined piece of a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule. The RNA strand is first<unk>  transcribed into its DNA complement or complementary DNA, followed by amplification of the resulting DNA using<unk><unk>  reaction. This can either be a 1 or 2 step process.<unk><unk>  reaction itself is the process used to amplify specific parts of a DNA molecule, via the temperature-mediated enzyme DNA<unk> .<unk><unk>  PCR is not to be confused with real-time<unk><unk>  reaction which is also marketed as<unk> .
