What is the process of PCR? What are the reagents? What temperatures are needed at each step?
- step 1: denaturing, start with parent DNA and break the hydrogen bonds to create two separate strands, temp = 95
- step 2: annealing, add forward and reverse DNA primers, DNA poly, dNTPs and Magnesium Chloride, temp = 55
- step 3: synthesizing, making new DNA strands, temp = 72
