Techniques in Molecular Genetics
There are three general techniques used for molecular genetics: amplification, separation and detection, and expression. Specifically used for amplification is polymerase chain reaction, which is an “indispensable tool in a great variety of applications”. In the separation and detection technique DNA and mRNA are isolated from their cells. Gene expression in cells or organisms is done in a place or time that is not normal for that specific gene.

Famous quotes containing the word techniques:
“It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.””
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
