    The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify a single or few copies of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. It uses repeated cycles of heating and cooling of the DNA sample to cause DNA replication, using DNA polymerase. During each cycle, the double-stranded DNA template is opened due to heating, primers anneal to the template by cooling, and DNA polymerase synthesizes the complementary strand to form two identical copies of the DNA segment. By repeating this process many times, exponential amplification of the target DNA region is achieved.
