|
| • | The polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) can |
||||||||
| be used to
amplify rare specific DNA |
|||||||||
| sequences from a
complex mixture when |
|||||||||
| the ends of the
sequence are known |
|||||||||
| • | PCR amplification
of mutant alleles allows |
||||||||
| detection of
human genetic diseases |
|||||||||
| • | DNA sequences can
be amplified by PCR |
||||||||
| for use in
cloning, as probes, and for |
|||||||||
| sequencing |
