Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Polymeriase chain reaction the most common method for DNA amplification. Detailed information is available at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerase_chain_reaction wikipedia].
Working principle
The PCR is typically based on four steps:
- heating to 95°C to separate the DNA double strands
- annealing at a temperature specific for the primers to anneal specifically to the template DNA (e.g. 63°C); too low or too high temperature does increases unspecific annealing or prevents any annealing
- amplification at the optimal working temperature of the polymerase (Taq, Phusion eg.)(72-74°C)
- a number of repeat from 1-3 for 25-35 times
Mixtures
PCR I NEB Phusion (50 µL batch)
- dNTPs 1 µL

PCR III NEB Q5 (50 µL batch)
- dNTPs 1 µL

SOE PCR
Unlike PCR I-III the premix is done without adding any primers, but just the two annealing templates. After 10 cycles the Primer up and lo are added.
