PCR (polymerase chain reaction) was invented in 1987 by Kary Mullis to specifically amplify a single DNA sequence. It takes advantage of DNA replication by using DNA polymerase, primers, and thermocycling to exponentially amplify the target sequence. PCR is now widely used in applications such as cloning, forensics, disease detection, and more due to its ability to amplify small amounts of DNA.
