PCR: DNA Amplification
- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplifies specific DNA segments.
- Used in diagnostics, forensics, and genetic research.
- Can produce millions of copies from a single DNA strand.
3
CRISPR: Gene Editing
- CRISPR-Cas9 allows precise editing of DNA sequences.
- Potential to cure genetic diseases and improve crops.
- Ethical considerations are a major topic of debate.
4
Future of Biotechnology
