Analyzing DNA is useful for a number of vital applications. This includes diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, identification of criminals, and studying the function of a targeted segment of DNA. However, methods used for analyses often require more DNA than may be available in a typical sample. A new polymerase chain reaction method could help the amplification process, and thus develop robust assays that previously would not have been possible.
