PCR - Polymerase Chain Reaction (IQOG-CSIC)

PCR technique (Polymerase Chain Reaction), Animation.
It is a technique used to make multiple copies of a DNA segment of interest, generating a large amount of copies from a small initial simple.
Amplification of DNA segments makes possible the detection of pathogenic virus or bacteria, identification of individuals (DNA fingerprinting), and several scientific research involving DNA manipulation.

Learning about DNA has never been more epic.

[rlWTmaster]

the music makes me feel like if i dont learn this the world is gonna end or something

[aldurocher]

This is the kind of PCR explanation I've been searching for my whole life. Thanks so much.

One hour lecture= Not understand about pcr
3 minutes video with no voices= Understand everything about pcr

[abdoaboukoura]

I finished my exam a year ago, but I still come here to listen to the music

[Mowa]

I can never forget this solely due to the magnificent grammy-level soundtrack

[Vinmob]

Love the eyes on the polymerase molecules - mischievous and full of intent!

[seppukuchuan]

Hands down the most dopest video I've viewed as far as learning more about the PCR specifically the taq polymerase :D Really helped. Thanks!!!

[khalfisalima]

The music makes me feel how mind-blowing is this technique

[alexandriaalles]

The music with the animations cracked me up!! Thanks for making! Very helpful!

[jllpkcz]

this is the most epic pcr video ever made

[Chanelifiable]

The drama. I started cracking up when the music kicked in.

[RinkuSingh-edwi]

This is why animation is best way to explain things especially in biology
Thanks a lot ❤❤❤

[prathameshdalavi]

Why am I getting goosebumps it's just a video explaining pcr😭

[SynnoveJamila]

The music is epic. I'm studying for my exam, and I'm feeling as dramatic as this video right now.

[tednosaur]

Ah yes, intense war movie music to go with some intense hard working DNA polymerases

[Mirrori]

Our teacher always showed this video at lab tech school when we talked about PCR. But she never keeped musics on.
Now i probably understand why.
But yeah i understand why did she show this because this is very helpful.
And i never got my own PCR test to work correctly in school.
Good memories.

[withgentlie]

the music background was so dramatic and it got happy ending 😂

[mohangurunathan]

This is one of the only videos which clearly explains the variable length DNA fragments that occur. Thank you so much.

Very easy to follow illustration of the PCR process. Educational and not overly complicated so many can learn from it.
