This is a testy sounding subject.

It is hard to exaggerate the impact of the polymerase chain reaction. PCR, the quick, easy method for generating unlimited copies of any fragment of DNA, is one of those scientific developments that actually deserves timeworn superlatives like "revolutionary" and "breakthrough."
First described only 10 years ago, in its short life PCR has transformed the life sciences utterly. From the daily practicalities of medical diagnosis to the theoretical framework of systematics, from courts of law to field studies of animal behavior, PCR takes analysis of tiny amounts of genetic material-even damaged genetic material-to a new level of precision and reliability.
"PCR is the most important new scientific technology to come along in the last hundred years," says Mark R. Hughes, deputy director of the National Center for Human Genome Research at the National Institutes of Health (perhaps better known as the Human Genome Project). And Science has pointed out that, because it is far simpler and less expensive than previous techniques for duplicating DNA, PCR has democratized genetic research, putting it within reach of all biologists, even those with no training in molecular biology.
