Introduction Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a widely used molecular biology technique that amplifies DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) segments. It involves a repetitive cycle of three main steps: denaturation, where the DNA strands are separated by heating; annealing, where short DNA primers bind to the target sequences; and extension, where DNA polymerase synthesizes new strands. This … Read more

Gram staining is a laboratory technique used to differentiate bacterial species into two groups based on the characteristics of their cell walls. The method was developed by Hans Christian Gram in 1884 and is widely used in microbiology to this day. The principle behind each steps are: 1. Primary Staining (Crystal Violet): The process begins … Read more
