Summary:
The invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) won the Nobel
Prize in Chemistry in 1994 and remains one of the most important
scientific discoveries of the twentieth century. More than 50,000
researchers in the United States use PCR replication technology, and
yet a book has not been published on the subject in more than ten
years. In this book, Dr. Stephen A. Bustin, a world-renowned PCR
expert, examines in detail the latest innovations and the overall
impact of PCR on many areas of molecular research. The book contains
personal reflections, opinions, and comments by leading authorities
on the many applications of the PCR and how this technology has
revolutionized their respective areas of interest. This book conveys
the ways in which PCR has overcome many obstacles in life science and
clinical research and also charts the PCR's development from
time-consuming, low throughput, non-quantitative procedure to today's
rapid, high throughput, quantitative super method.
