DNA amplification is a scientific technique which produces copies of a gene. DNA amplification allows a small sample of DNA can be copied over and over to produce a large enough sample to be studied in a laboratory. Method of DNA amplification include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), ligase chain reactions, and transcription-mediated amplification.
