In today's world, technology allows scientists to accomplish things that were never possible before. These new discoveries can make the impossible, possible. One such method is known as PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction. This process has revolutionized DNA cloning. Before this method was discovered, if a scientist needed a piece of DNA to conduct an experiment, they would have to cut a piece of DNA with a restriction enzyme, then add DNA from ...
