19 Feb Week 5 Discussion: PCR Amplification
In this discussion, we will take a closer look at the process of PCR amplification. The amount of DNA evidence that might be available at the crime scene is often insufficient to conduct DNA testing. That is where PCR amplification comes in.
In your main response, describe how PCR amplification was used to solve the case, and also discuss the advantages and limitations of using PCR amplification.
According to the first letter in your last name, find a case, and describe how PCR amplification was used to solve that specific case:
If your last name starts with the letter…
… describe how PCR amplification was used in a specific case where….
A – H
… an unknown cause of death was resolved.
Do a library and/or web search to find at least one credible information source and use that to explain how PCR amplification helped solve the case.
Your main post should be at least 150 words.
