Using PCR, copies of DNA sequences are exponentially amplified to generate thousands to millions of more copies of that particular DNA segment. PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical laboratory and clinical laboratory research for a broad variety of applications including biomedical research and criminal forensics. PCR was developed by Kary Mullis in 1983 while he was an employee of the Cetus Corporation. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993 (along with Michael Smith) for his work in developing the method.

Typically, PCR consists of a series of 20–40 repeated temperature changes, called thermal cycles, with each cycle commonly consisting of two or three discrete temperature steps. The cycling is often preceded by a single temperature step at a very high temperature (90 °C (194 °F), and followed by one hold at the end for final product extension or brief storage. The temperatures used and the length of time they are applied in each cycle depend on a variety of parameters, including the enzyme used for DNA synthesis, the concentration of bivalent ions and dNTPs in the reaction, and the melting temperature (Tm) of the primers.

I've literally watched so many videos on this topic but this is the one that really made it stick. This video helped me so much for multiple reasons, with the first being the neat layout of the video. The second reason is relating the names of stuff to how it plays a role in the whole process, and even going as far as to explain "historical" context. Last but not least, the fact that you related the entire process to a real-life application made it a lot easier to understand how it all fits together, and it made me love it and genuinely want to understand it rather than just study it. Major thanks to you

HIV has an RNA genome, not DNA as you state at 6'06" of the video. For HIV, you'd first have to do reverse transcription to produce cDNA before you can do a PCR

You say at 5:30 in the video that the temperature should be raised to 72 degrees Celsius for step one, Denaturation. Isn't it higher like around 95 degrees Celsius?

In my book temperatures mentioned in denaturation is 94 degrees Celsius and for 1 minute.
In primer Annealing, temperature is 54 degrees Celsius and time duration is 2 minutes.

Thanks a lot and I'll be back to learn more about this. Now I know why Kary Mullis called PCR a manufacturing process.
