The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a relatively simple technique that amplifies a DNA template to produce specific DNA fragments in vitro. Traditional methods of cloning a DNA sequence into a vector and replicating it in a living cell often require days or weeks of work, but amplification of DNA sequences by PCR requires only hours. While most biochemical analyses, including nucleic acid detection with radioisotopes, require the input of significant amounts of biological material, the PCR process requires very little. Thus, PCR can achieve more sensitive detection and higher levels of amplification of specific sequences in less time than previously used methods. These features make the technique extremely useful, not only in basic research, but also in commercial uses, including genetic identity testing, forensics, industrial quality control and in vitro diagnostics. Basic PCR is commonplace in many molecular biology labs where it is used to amplify DNA fragments and detect DNA or RNA sequences within a cell or environment. However, PCR has evolved far beyond simple amplification and detection, and many extensions of the original PCR method have been described. This chapter provides an overview of different types of PCR methods, applications and optimization.

Vectors are DNA molecules that can carry foreign DNA fragments into host cells. There are two major classes of vectors: plasmids and phages. Plasmid vectors like pBR322 were some of the earliest cloning vectors and have replication origins, antibiotic resistance genes, and multiple cloning sites. PUC plasmids are derived from pBR322 and use blue-white screening. Lambda phages can accommodate larger DNA fragments than plasmids. Cosmids and phagemids have characteristics of both plasmids and phages, allowing larger DNA fragments to be cloned and packaged. M13 phages produce single-stranded DNA clones. Different vector types are suited for various cloning and expression purposes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. PCR
PCR was invented by Kary Mullis and his colleagues in the 1980s.
PCR is a means to amplify a particular piece of DNA
Amplify= making numerous copies of a segment of DNA
PCR can make billions of copies of a target sequence of DNA in short time
It is a laboratory version of DNA Replication in cells
The amplified DNA can be cloned directly or used in a variety of analytical
procedures.
4. PCR
Why “Polymerase”?
Because the only enzyme used in the reaction is DNA polymerase.
Why “Chain” ?
Because the products of the first reaction become the substrates of the
following one and so on.
5. Requirements of PCR
1. Target DNA (sequence of DNA required to be amplified)
2. Pair of primers (short oligonucleotide to start the amplification reaction)
3. dNTPs (deoxy Nucleotide Triphosphates)

Final Extension:
9. Initial Denaturation: 94⁰C
Double-stranded template DNA is denatured by heating, typically to 94°C
To separate all the double stranded DNA molecules in the reaction
Duration 2-3 mins
10. 1. Denaturation: 94⁰C
This is the first step of amplification cycle
DNA template is denatured by heating, typically to 94°C, to separate the
double stranded DNA
It is necessary for binding of Primer
Usually for 45 Sec
11. 2. Annealing (temp 50-65⁰C)
The reaction is rapidly cooled to an annealing temperature
It allow the oligonucleotide primers to hybridize to the template
It anneal only to sequences that are complementary to Primers.
12. 3. Extension/Elongation
The reaction is heated to a temperature, typically 72°C for efficient DNA
synthesis by the thermostable DNA polymerase.
This means the optimum temperature of amplification is 72°C
Time depends upon length of the amplicon 1min/1kb
13. Final Extension
When all PCR cycles are completed
Temperature is maintained at 72°C to perform final extension
It completes the polymerization at the ends of amplified fragments
For 7-10 mins
Time depends on the size of the amplicon

17. Enzymes used in PCR
Several types of thermostable DNA polymerases are available for use in PCR
Taq DNA polymerase,
Isolated from the eubacterium Thermus aquaticus
Most commonly used enzyme for standard end-point PCR.
The robustness of this enzyme allows its use in many different PCR assays.
However, as this enzyme is active at room temperature,
It is necessary to perform reaction setup on ice to avoid nonspecific amplification
18. Hot-start DNA polymerase
When amplification reaction setup is performed at room temperature, primers can bind
nonspecifically to each other, forming primer–dimers.
During amplification cycles, primer–dimers can be extended to produce nonspecific
products, which reduces specific product yield.
For more challenging PCR applications, the use of hot-start PCR is crucial for successful
specific results.
To produce hot-start DNA polymerases, Taq DNA polymerase activity can be inhibited at
lower temperatures with antibodies or, more effectively, with chemical modifiers that
form covalent bonds with amino acids in the polymerase.
The chemical modification leads to complete inactivation of the polymerase until the
covalent bonds are broken during the initial heat activation step.
19. High-fidelity DNA polymerase
Unlike standard DNA polymerases (such as Taq DNA polymerase), high-fidelity
PCR enzymes generally provide a 3' to 5' exonuclease activity for removing
incorrectly incorporated bases.
High-fidelity PCR enzymes are ideally suited to applications requiring a low
error rate, such as cloning, sequencing, and site-directed mutagenesis.
However, if the enzyme is not provided in a hot-start version, the 3' to 5'
exonuclease activity can degrade primers during PCR setup and the early stages
of PCR.
Nonspecific priming caused by shortened primers can result in smearing on a gel
or amplification failure — especially when using low amounts of template.
It should be noted that the proofreading function often causes high-fidelity
enzymes to work more slowly than other DNA polymerases.
20. Primers
A short sequence of Oligonucleotides required to start the amplification.
Two synthetic oligonucleotides are prepared, complementary to sequences on
opposite strands of the target DNA at positions just beyond the ends of the
segment to be amplified.
The oligonucleotides serve as replication primers that can be extended by DNA
polymerase.
The 3´ ends of the hybridized probes are oriented toward each other and
positioned to prime DNA synthesis across the desired DNA segment
21. PCR Primer Design Guidelines
Primers must be complementary to flanking sequences of target region
Primer Length: It is generally accepted that the optimal length of PCR primers is
18-22 bp.
22. Primer Melting Temperature (Tm):
Primers with Tm in the range of 52-58 oC generally produce the best results.
The GC content of the sequence gives a fair indication of the primer Tm.
Tm = (G + C) 4 + (A + T) 2
The difference of Tm should be < 5oC of the forward and reverse primers.
GC Content: The GC content (the number of G's and C's in the primer as a
percentage of the total bases) of primer should be 40-60%.
GC Clamp: The presence of G or C bases within the last five bases from the 3'
end of primers (GC clamp)
23. Primer Annealing Temperature (Ta): The primer melting temperature is the
estimate of the DNA-DNA hybrid stability and critical in determining the
annealing temperature.
(Ta = Tm – 5)
-Too high Ta will produce insufficient primer-template hybridization
resulting in low PCR product yield.
-Too low Ta may possibly lead to non-specific products caused by a high
number of base pair mismatches
24. Primer pairs should not have complementary regions
Should avoid Self Dimer
Primer Secondary Structures:
Presence of the primer secondary structures produced by intermolecular or
intramolecular interactions can lead to poor or no yield of the product.
Di-nucleotide repeats (e.g., GCGCGCGCGC or ATATATATAT) or single base
runs (e.g., AAAAA or CCCCC) should be avoided.
26. Designing of Primers
Steps for Designing of Primers
Need desired DNA sequence
Sequence can be collected from NCBI
Copy the sequence and paste in the primer designing software
Get Primer sequence
Carefully check the properties of primer
Get primer synthesized from company
27. The segment that you want to amplified is in the blue square
5’
3’
Design the primers using Primer3, then send them to any companey who will synthesize them
Make sure that the area that you want to study is between the primers
The region to be studied should be between the forward and reverse
Example : you want to study a mutation in a DLG3 gene and how it relate to
memory,
Find you’re required region from any website, eg.

32. Although DNA degrades over time, PCR has allowed successful cloning of DNA
from samples more than 40,000 years old.
Investigators have used the technique to clone DNA fragments from the
mummified remains of humans and extinct animals such as the woolly mammoth,
creating the new fields of molecular archaeology and molecular paleontology.
