Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method used to amplify a targeted DNA sequence. It works by cycling between high and low temperatures to denature, anneal primers to, and extend the DNA. Real-time PCR uses fluorescent probes to measure amplification at each cycle and determine the cycle threshold, allowing quantification of the starting DNA template.
