Madhur L.
Just need help understanding B 6) A) List and describe 3 molecular methods used to analyze DNA in the laboratory. DNA cloning makes multiple identical copies PCR technique uses the ability of DNA polymerase to synthesize new strand of DNA complementary to the offered template strand. Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size. B) Are these assays being used currently to identify pathogens clinically? C) What method do you think has the lowest error rate in identifying a pathogen?
