Components of a Successful PCR
PCR is a three-step, cyclic process, where new strands of DNA are created through successive rounds of denaturation, annealing, and extension using the enzyme DNA polymerase.
PCR can fail for various reasons, in part due to its sensitivity to contamination causing amplification of spurious DNA products.
